Nice page here, Omid- Loot desert looks interesting, but forbidding. Love the Saffron flowers. Nice photos.

Ah! Omid, I hope to visit the Loot Desert one day, and see Ali Abad Keshmar tower which looks impressive; I agree that looking at the stars in clear sky brings real interior peace. I liked to dream with you Omid. The trail on the video looks nice.

Kashmar seems to have extremes, from bad worms and scorpions to the beautiful saffron flowers and wonderful mosques.
