Green green grass of home

Last year, at this time I had a short trip to Qazvin, a city a few hundred kilometers away in North of Tehran. The city used to be a city of gardens and houses. Of the old gardens which actually were the city's skeleton, just few are remained. Most of them are vanished to new houses and apartments.
Although the city is quite small when compared with our big cities, the cultural heritage is not poor at all and consist many old houses and monuments most of them taken care by Iranian National Heritage Organization.
The city is also famous for being one of the industrial regions of the country. Just adjacent to the city there is a huge complex of factories jammed in an industrial town. Despite what one may imagine, the town is totally green and beautiful.
With a group of my friends we also visited a lake nearby called Evan. As the city is located in the southern edge of Alborz mountain range, for reaching the lake we had to drive in a wavy road taking us to higher altitudes.
It's May and it's the green time of the year in most parts of the country. If ever decided to visit us, come on May!
