This temple located between mountains and water droplets, are drip drip(as in drips of water). buildings around the temple is built for people . Chak Chak is where Nikbanou, second daughter of the Sassanian Emperor Yazdegerd III of Persia, was cornered by the invading Arab army in 640 CE. Fearing capture Nikbanou prayed to AHURA MAZDA ( ALLAH-GOD-KHODA ) to protect her from her enemies. In response to Nikbanou's pleadings, the mountain miraculously opened up and sheltered her from the invaders. And today Zoroastrians are public shrines each year from June 14-18.This image from inside the temple and behind the window is taken.

hello Hehrdad,
this is a clever way to show us a contast between the modern and the timeless.It has an attractive graphic quality that manages not to detract us from the mountain view.

Hi, Mehrdad!
I still feel like I'm under an optical illusion.
There's something very unreal about this photo. It seems to feel like a wall of hanging or even floating mirrors. very weird..

thanks for this interesting contribution..

regards,
sofia

Hello Mehrdad,
A very interesting effect looking through the window to the rugged landscape beyond. I thought it was a lot of mirrors when I first looked at the photo.
