A trip to the walnuts’ valley |

 Capturing these photos goes back to the time of my 3-day trip to a village in the heart of the mountain called “Aghouzdarreh” which means “the valley of walnuts!” in the first days of Norouz of 84 that was silence and silence and fog and snow!

A trip to the walnuts’ valley
You get far from the city, as a strange fog from around the mountains and that beautiful valley gets close to your eyes. A rooster flaps its wings, seems that he is saluting. A cattle in guard of the dogs’ barking and the sound of the bells crosses your heart and the village full of tin and clay roofs with rambling houses and cozy narrow alleys, full of windows get round your body. The butterflies land on your hands. Fog gets closer and the surrounding view gets further; you see nothing more than a fancy far from a bird’s flight that gets closer or further?!

7Sang
(Haft Sang) is the name of an Iranian e-magazine that has been
published in Persian since the year 2002. 7Sang members and
authors are Iranians from all around the world. The contents of
7Sang are mostly cultural, artistic and literary subjects. As
the most members are living in Iran, the magazine is published
under the current country rules.
7Sang is just published on the net and there is not any printed
volume. Not depending to any party, political group, etc, 7Sang
is an independed magazine. There is no commercial objective in
publishing 7Sang. Furthermore, the expenses for publishing 7sang
are all paid by the members and money they may earn from
advertising in the magazine. What publishes in 7Sang is the
point of view of the writer. Publishing an opinion in 7Sang,
doesn’t always mean accepting it. Literally, 7Sang means Seven
Stones. The word has been taken from the name of an Iranian
traditional game. |
