Alamkooh west

Taken 7th April 2007. Zoomed west shot to the Takht-e-Soleiman massif from Alamoot. I believe Alamoot is a special valley for the Alborz range. The view of the most impressive part of Middle-Alborz (the Takht-e-Soleimans), the whole main West-Alborz ridge-line (Siyalan, Khashechal...) and the King(Shah-Alborz range) in a single 360deg turn, non countable 4000+m peaks. Anyway the different shape and far but tallest form of AlamKooh peak makes the others look so low ! In the picture : (very left cone) Takhte Soleyman Peak 4659m (triangle horn) Alamkooh 4850m (folded mountains in front of Alam and Takht) HaftKhan peaks 4537m (black bump on left crest of Alam) N-Khersan 4680m (then) M-Khersan 4620m ViranKooh 4609m (the last tall peak) S-Khersan 4659m (bump) Setareh 4296m (small horn) Menareh 4378m (very right vast cone) Gardooneh Kooh 4402m I cant name the 3 front layers, they are the many 4000m bounadry of the Takht-e-Soleimans.

Horn

That is a very nice angle. I had never seen Alam Kooh as such an impressive horn.

I can see Takhte Soleyman Peak to the left of Alam kooh. To the right, The khersans and even Menareh & Gardooneh Kooh can be seen. Some of the Haft Khan Peaks are in front of the Khersan Peaks.

Very nice, thanks.

Pictures

I went to alamoot in a very clear day, I visited as many places as I could to understand the peaks and mountains there, the thing that attracted me from the first moments was alamkooh horn and the Shah-alborz range, I took about 400pics, I have to find the good ones, I have took some 360deg panoramas with about 20 or more pictures, but unfortunatlt I don't know why when I stick them they come down like a ladder... when I have some time I will send the good ones to SP and you.
