Trip to North-east

A few days ago, I had a short trip to the North, to Mazandaran province. These are the shots I've taken from the car. Just to share the experience with you:

Still in Tehran province. It's quite early. Both the plain and I were drowsy.

The road snakes through the plain. It was early morning and a few cars were on the road. When getting back home in the afternoon, it was hellish crowded.

A beautiful scenery. Entering the mountainous part, crossing the Alborz range, to get to Mazandaran province.

Not a few of propaganda signs like this on the way. It reads:" Praying the God..." is so and so.


Coming out of a tunnel, entering the next one.

Parallel to the way, that's the railroad in an upper altitude. A nice bridge among many of them. The most beautiful one is Veresk which I didn't have a chance to take a photo. This railroad was constructed some 80 years ago.

First group of green patches of rice fields.

A factory on the way. I couldn't see what it was, but I liked the yellow color.


A view of Zir-ab. The town is famous for its coal mines. And also for a strike of miners which was smashed in their cold blood during Shah's time.

A house on the way, somewhere between Savad-kuh and Zir-ab.

Rice fields all along the way when you enter the northern provinces. The forest in the background.

Hospital of Savadkooh, another small (but old) town on the way. The town is the central point of a mountainous region with the same name.

The hills are all covered with tall trees. The thickest forest of the country is located in the North, along the Caspian sea.

Khazar-shahr, an idustrial town on the way

On the expressway joining Qaem-shahr and Sari. The humidity was killing in the car without the conditioner
