Ramsar is one of the old cities of the Mazandaran province where is located to the extreme west of the province,in north of Iran and beside the Caspian Sea.
Ramsar, years before 1931 was a rural area by the name of Sakhtsar. Today this historical city has expanded and thereby turned into an excellent recreational area in northern Iran, enhanced with natural beauty, a place to enjoy for foreign visitors.

The Marmar (Marble) Palace :
The palace built by order of the last King of Iran in 1937 in the thickly wooded hill overlooking Ramsar, the setting of which is one of the most magnificent anywhere along the Caspian coast.
It built in a historical garden of Ramsar and its relative structures are on national record and under support of the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran. This garden covers an area of 60,000 sq.m. and is one of the beautiful and traditional gardens in Mazandaran province and Iran.
The palace within is a single storeyed, rectangular building, with a central hall, rooms and a porch with columns of stone. The architectural plan has involved great details and shows the imprint of the reign of Kingdom , with its marble, plaster and mirror works.
the palace is now a palace museum, or Muzeh kakh-e Shah.

Hi Mohammad.

Well done with this 'blue hour' shot! As I have recently found out, taking pictures at this time can be hard. I think you have done really well to capture this interesting and still very sharp picture!

Well done!

Hello Mohammad! What a nice way to say thank you to someone. You did a really good job and you had a wonderful night blue in your sky. What I like most is the light in the garden and the special green it gives to the lawn but also to the plants. I find this really special. Very well done, I like it a lot. All my best, Barbara.

Hello Mohammad. Very good result you got with the 10-sec exposure here, the mood rendered with the lighting is rather exquisite. Crisp detail all over, and a nice framing to illustrate the way in which the Marble Palace is surrounded by the colorful plants in the garden. Greetings from Hiroshima.

Fantastic blue hour photo! Although it's not a very common sight in your gallery (nightshots, I mean) with this one you prove that you are mastering also this kind of photography! And this proves what I usually say, that a great photographer is a great one in any style. Excellent composition and framing, perfect light managment! Congratulations!

With my warmest regards,
Hercules

Ola Mohammad,
Que bela Palácio tem uma arquitectura muito bonita com toda esta vegetação em sua volta , gostei muito dos detalhes , boa luz, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi Mohammad, I am happy to see this palace as we passed very close to it but decided not to see it, so we could only imagine... Beautiful atmosphere, Very grand and imposing, a bit pretentious IMO, but typical of the architecture for rich people of this period, we have a few examples of this in a certain part of Brussels ; your note is very interesting, thanks to have taken the pain to write it !
Tabrik migam,
Cath.

Bonjour Mohammad

Amitiés ,
