Thanks for your kind comment Dave. Iran is a mountainous country and Damavand is the most important montain not only because of its height but also for an ancient mythology every iranian know: Arash the Archer-
…Iran was invaded by Touranians and shame of conquest was to be complete with a Turanian proposal to limit Iran to the range of an arrow's flight. Arash, a Solider, volunteered to shoot the arrow. He strained his bow as never before, let the arrow fly and, exhausted, became one with the arrow and disappeared. The arrow flew the entire morning and fell at noon on the far bank of the Oxus River in what is now Central Asia. The Oxus river is the traditional boundary between the Iranian world and outer central Asia or Turan. Arash's body was never found. There are still stories from travelers who, lost in the mountains, hear Arash Kamangir's voice who helps them find their way and thus saves their lives…
Arash Shot his arrow from this montain.

Beautiful light and colors, very nicely accomplished landscape. I am surprised that Iran has such mountainous lands.
The only thing I would suggest on this to make it even better, would be to crop off the bottom of the photo where the buildings are showing. Still a great landscape, though.
Best wishes,
Dave

Dear Przemysław,
Damavand is the highest mount in Iran. Whether is not as clear as it is at this photo. You can imagine whether at the top of mountain during storm (if you check the new photo of this mount I upload for comparison).
Thanks for your kind comment

Congratulation Beautiful view. It's really amazing mountain and over twice as big as the highest mountain in Poland (Rysy 2499 m.) So it very high for me.
Regards.
