First impression

... of Takht-e Soleyman world heritage site.
The small pond is in fact water of an artesian spring trapped in its own sediments that have made a one hundred meter _or more_ vessel in height. The water is still flowing.
At about 8:30 in the morning the water was so calm but later small ripples started to change the its texture and color . I'll post more pictures of the lake in its different moods.
One of the most important fire-temples (Atashkadeh) of Iran, i.e. Azar-e Goshasp (or Azar-e Goshnasp), was located here in Takht-e Soleyman of which only a part of its walls is remained.
Iwan-e Khosrow is seen in the middle of picture.
