Forbidden land
Mount Damavand, Iran.
Jan 16 2013 : Forbidden lands meant countries such as Iran and North Korea.
Jan 16 2021 : Forbidden land is just a few miles down the road under C-19 restrictions.
Let's get one thing clear. I very much accept the UK current ban on going anywhere outside your home except in certain circumstances. However, how the world has changed from eight years ago.
This photo was taken from Emirates A380 EK017 from Dubai to Manchester on the way back from a stay with K's daughter who lived in Kuala Lumpur at the time. Mount Damavand is a stratovolcano rising to 5,609 metres (18,403 ft) some 70 kms (43 miles) northeast of Tehran. I'm pretty sure that the lake in the foreground is Hoz-e Soltan Salt Lake about 85 kms (53 miles) southwest of Tehran. That city is somewhere just off the left side of this photo so the mountain was photographed from approximately 140 kms away (86 miles).
