Gilan Province 2

A slightly low-angle photograph of an empty park bench nestled on a small, grassy mound under a large, bare-trunked tree. The bench has a black metal frame and worn wooden slats painted in bright orange and reddish-brown. Fallen autumn leaves litter the ground around the base, and a dirt path leads off to the right. In the blurred background, other trees and an open, rolling field can be seen.
After a ride up the Lahijan Gondola lift in Gilan Province, we found this colorful bench to enjoy a moment of peace and the mountain air.
A stunning panoramic view of a mountain landscape above a thick layer of clouds. The sky is a clear, bright blue near the top, fading to a pale blue-white at the horizon. The slopes in the foreground are covered in deciduous trees, many with bare branches or muted autumn colors like deep gold and brown. A patch of the distant hillside is brightly lit by the sun, contrasting with the shadowed foreground. The vast, flat layer of white clouds fills the valley below, looking like a serene, endless sea.

A moody, wide shot of a dense, dark green forested hill rising steeply up to meet an overcast, cloudy sky. In the foreground, below the main forest line, there is a distinct band of cultivated tea bushes or low shrubs growing on the slope. The light is diffused, giving the scene a soft, slightly mysterious atmosphere.
My lunch view: The perfect scene of lush tea fields and dense jungle on Lahijan’s Devil Mountain (Sheytan Kuh).
