Hamedan Province

Visiting Alisadr cave in Hamedan province was one of the best travelling experiences I ever had.

Alisadr Cave belongs to the Jurassic period. I found it as an indescribable natural museum with different artistic shapes; as you pass through the path you see amazing structures. I think this cave is hidden in a mountain similar to a piece of jewellery inside a rock. You can see decrements in water level over time and how stone erosion has constructed flat surfaces hung from the ceiling such as in the last photo.

These are a few of the shapes on the ceiling of the pathway.

These structures are stiff and unbreakable, unlike their white icy appearance.

These ceramic bowls are moulded and then baked in about 1300°C in an old-style oven. The photos are taken in a small workshop in Lalejin city, the pottery capital of the world.
