Drop of Tranquillity in Sea of Turmoil

Photo essay: Enchanted Badab Surt in Semnan

Almost three years ago: an informed guide + a long drive... Badab Surt is situated near Semnan (Iran). The road that takes you there is a narrow, long one that winds around the misty mountains nearby. The combination of: a cool breeze; the overlapping border of the patchy green, fertile land with the clouds; smell of sulphur and stepwise little pools of mineral water with their orange appearance make a surreal picture that is hard to forget.

If I could go...

Thank you for the beautiful photos and revealing this little-known natural treasure. I'm currently traveling across the U.S. and because of the nature of my job, I can't do the same in Iran or else I'd be visiting Badab Surt.
