Re: Beautiful

Thank you Karrar,

The Sorkhab Peaks are quite beautiful but appear to be surrounded by walls or nasty talus fields.

Sorkhab

View to take your breathaway. Thank you for capturing and sharing it Nader.
The flowers look like Lupines. Are they?
Lupines have a strong and pleasant aroma.

Re: Sorkhab

Thank you Marc

I don't know about lupines, but I think in Iran they call these "Gavan".

Re: Sorkhab

It's a milkwetch clearly, with very typical pea-like flowers consisiting of "banner, wing, and keel" as their petal shapes are known. There is an SP album just for those flowers.

And as far as I can tell "gavan" is Astragalus raddei.

Your Sorkhab is really a Red Valley indeed!

Re: Sorkhab

Thank you "Moskva"

I was never good in botany, will add the photo to the album you mentioned.

Sounds like you know Farsi. Yes, these peaks are quite red and very impressive. They look higher than what the map says they are, that could be an optical illusion but I doubt it.

Re: Farsi

Nah, just little insignificant shreds of language from the old times when the tallest peaks and the longest glaciers we could access were in Pamir Mountains.

One day the Farsi-speaking world may become an amazing travel attraction, not just for those who have strong roots there ... but alas the way the world changes, it isn't going to happen soon.

Re: Farsi

Knowing what sorkhab is, I would not call it insignificant shreds. You know Farsi a lot more than you think.

A most interesting album!!

Thanks a lot for posting all of these excellent images of an area I'm sure not too many people know about! I'm looking forward to taking a much closer look at your album this evening! Best regards, Eric (MauriceRavel)

Re: A most interesting album!!

Thank you for looking and commenting. I should say that I very much enjoy listening to your Bolero, Dapnis et Chloe...Mr. Maurice Ravel.

Plant's name

This post is so old but by the way, it's onobrychis cornuta and is very common in Alborz range.

Re: Plant's name

Thank you for looking and commenting,

What is this called in Farsi? I do not think it is "Gavan".
