An Old Village III, a photo from Mazandaran, East

Photographer's Note

When you see an oldman or an oldwoman in the "Djavaaher Deh" village,it make a imagination that you really are in a past time.

All youngs peoples goes to city for another work & life,you see a few youngs in there,myebe in holidays time they come back to visit their parents.
Of course,in winter,almost all old peoples goes to city near village,more in "Ramsar" and around.because the village in winter goes under snow and become very cold & transportation to there is very difficult.

***

You can see first and second shots in this series with another note about this village.

Also, before it I posted a picture with another title that I took it in this village in the same time as this series's shots.
And a scanned map for you:)

Hallo Mohammad. Thanks for your good words. Yes I am back after almost a month vacation from few countries. I see, you are good busy with a posting on TE. Very nice captures you have done last time. This one is original and I like such kind of moments. World is huge and realy beautiful also daily life everywhere. And it is different, from place to place. Very well done here Mohammad. I like this frame too. Good job.
Kind regards, Don.

Lovely housing here, I like the women centred and the wooden effect of the surroundings, very poor but a great TE shot, well done

Another "texture"-shot and what a lot of details, different lines, not many crispy colours however, I don't like people in a picture, only when they are useful, and the woman here is a fine and useful detail !

Yet another well composed photo from this sad looking town - I can reconize the story with the young people leaving town - the same happens here - where the young people don't want to live an small islands - I like the presence of life you got on this shot and the textures of the building - thanks for sharing your fine work - Yours Jeppe

A good continuation of the series, Mohammad. A lot of detal to watch, and good rendition of different textures. The old woman sure adds interest, zooming in on her could make an A-class portrait shot. I think this one will work well in b&w, too. Good shot.

Sounds familiar to many places with the abandonment of the small towns and villages in order to make a living. The abandonment is nicely felt here. The grey day, the older, sort of make do patching of the buildings and the lone woman really capture that atmosphere nicely. The composition really allows a mix of all of this seen in the different buildings and creates a sort of frame around the woman at center. Nicely done.

hi mohammad
im just going through this series
this is a really good photograph
i think the way you've included the lady here is really great...
you've made her an important part of the composition by placing her in the centre.. and in addition to that you've shwon the rest of her surroundings..
this is a really good photograph
take care :)
