South of Yazd Iran, Some Unexpected Finds - one of Sam's Exotic Travels

Yazd is located in the Dasht-e-Kavir Desert. It's a 452 km drive south-west to Shiraz, but in the first 100 km we made three stops:

Deh Sir, a small hamlet of adobe buildings, a beautiful mosque and even more beautiful people,

Abar Kooh -- an ancient Iranian city located on the Silk Road, containing an historic ice house and perhaps the oldest cypress tree in Asia

The Central Mountain range, which went from bare-rock to snow-peaked mountains. Our stop was at Eagle Rock -- other mountain pictures were taken from our bus.
