Snow on Alborz

This is a stunning view of the Alborz mountains from the fair ground in northern Tehran. It was late spring (early May) when I was there. So, on a clear day (like this one) you could see the snow on the mountains. And if you are lucky enough, even catch a glimpse of Damavand. The crowd that you see in this picture is from the annual book fair, an immensely popular event in Iran. I saw people walk around with their shopping trolleys!
