    Kish Island of iran

    If you are looking for a quiet and beautiful natural sea town
    Especially if you're a tourist
    Visit Iran's Kish Island in the south of Iran once before it's too late
    Astonishing ocean
    Super beautiful corals
    Calm silence
    Sunny shining even in winter

    The kariz of Kish was abandoned a long time ago, and was forgotten by the inhabitants of the island. In addition, modern technology has made the water filtration process much more efficient, which means that the ancient system would have been obsolete anyway. In 1999, the island embarked on a project to build an underground shopping complex. This resulted in the rediscovery of the ancient kariz. Instead of demolishing the kariz to make room for the shopping complex, the developers decided to incorporate the latter into the former. While the historic coral walls that surround the kariz were left on their own, the tunnels were reinforced with modern mortar and stone. This combination of ancient and modern served to create a unique subterranean world. This ancient structure is further modernised by the presence of shops and restaurants, traditional teahouses, amphitheatres, conference centres, and even art galleries. Nevertheless, the developers have not forgotten the kariz’s ancient function, and it is once more fulfilling its role as a water filter, although the filtered water is used mainly for irrigation purposes

    The Greek Ship is the nickname of a cargo steamship, Khoula F, that has been beached on the southwest coast of Kish Island, Iran, since 1966. She was built in 1943 by the British shipyard of William Hamilton and Company in Port Glasgow, Scotland, under the name Empire Trumpet.

    Hi Vaez,

    Nice efforts, were you going for a silhouette look in the first shot, if not I would try to lift the shadows a bit, otherwise the sunset was nicely captured.

    It looks like a delightful coastal location on the island, and not as crowded as the local airport might have have implied.

    Do you mean to black out the shadows of the photo?

    Hi Vaez,

    No, meant to bring out details of the shadow areas, the shadows as shown are pretty much blackened as can be.

    Men and women can swim when they are dressed
