Lake Evan Alamut by Hamidreza Zarini

Lake Evan, a pristine body of water nestled along the Alamut Road, serves as the breathtaking subject of this landscape study. Situated at an elevation of 1,810 meters, the lake is celebrated as a national heritage site, defined by its unique geographical formation where water bubbles from the earth. The photographer captures the lush vegetation encircling the basin, which stretches elegantly toward the base of the towering surrounding mountains. This image is award-worthy for its serene composition and the way it highlights the harmonious relationship between the reflective, tranquil waters and the rugged, expansive terrain of the Iranian highlands.
