I visited Masouleh in September. Your pictures captured the beauty that captured my heart. I have circled the globe and been to some amazing places, and I have to say I couldn't believe the natural beauty. Oh and the people were so sweet. It was Ramadan and the owner of the restaurant opened the place with newspapers on the window to feed the tourists. It is a place untouched.

Masouleh IS a jewel, regardless of negative comments, it's one of God's masterpieces.

I bet God felt great when "SHE" created Masouleh!

He is a "SHE"!!.............LOL

The folks in these photos don't look any more misrable than the people walking around San Francisco on any given day. Gloomy weather brings that out in people. I think these are beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Sadness

Sounds like the truly sad people are the ones leaving these "sad" comments. Perhaps you're coloring your observations with your own inner sorrow - it's a typical thing with the clinically depressed. I suggest you speak with a therapist.

(p.s., nice pictures)

Everyone looks sad in Iran.

Everyone looks sad in Iran. The younger guys usually look much older than their age because they have no job and thus no bright future ahead of them.

The photos were taken in rainy/cloudy days, which is great by the way.  Usually in these types of weather conditions people's faces are as you describe.  Other pictures of masouleh in sunny days have been posted here before with smiley faces :-)

nice photos

but sad people. Faces remind of you former Soviet Union in its worst days. This is supposed to be one of the better villages in Iran loaded with tourists, but look at the depression in the face of the people.

The British-Style Islam in its full force.....

As for the photography, you did an excellent job, great pictures.

Dear Asmodeus,
Thanks for sharing your pictures of Masouleh. I hope you had a nice time there. My parents grew up in Masouleh. Your pictures brought back a lot of childhood memories. I actually recognized some of the people in your pictures. If you are planning to go back to Masouleh next time, please post your email address
