Hello everyone! I must say I'm really enjoying being a part of this community and seeing your wonderful photos & reviews everyday! ππ So I feel it's time to share something that's mine and talk about an experience I had during a 7 day trip to the Islands of Persian Gulf !!
It is located in the South of Iran, and North to United Arab Emirates. We travelled early morning by plane to a city named "Bandarabbas" and afterwards we moved to the "Hormoz" Island on a yacht π₯π It took almost 45 minutes to get to Hormoz & one thing you REALLY NEED TO KNOW about this mysterious island, is that the DUST on the ground has formed by various colors. Red, navy blue, green and even pink dust is painted all over the hills, mountains & valleys! π¨ππ Some folks who live there, collect those dusts & sands and put them in jars for sale! I bought one myself and brought it back home!
Here you can see our yacht, a view of valleys & a woman with her kid, selling sand:
Although it was winter, those islands were hot enough - especially during day time - that my friends and I were wondering around in shorts and T-shirts π₯΅βοΈ and don't get me start on folks and people!! They were the most lovely and friendly men & women I've seen in my life β€ We used to stay in hotels but they were very percussive to invite us for lunch, dinner, and spending the night iat their own homes! A lot of them came with us and showed us around as we weren't familiar to the place, yet they did all these works willingly and voluntarily and without any expectations in return!
Here you can see some portraits I photographed:
It's been four years since I visited Hormoz, Gheshm, and Hengam. The three islands where you can FEEL LIFE and relax for a long time and forget about all your troubles... I miss those amazing people and mysterious places... Have YOU been to places like this? Have you ever been to Asia or wondering in between islands?? If so, please tell me about yours!!
Have you ever experienced portrait or street photography? What cameras you usually use?
I'd love to hear all about it! π
These two last photos are a picture of me on a yacht & a photo of a golden Bentley we rented to wander around in Gheshm Island! β€ππ»
Hope you have enjoyed reading this & seeing my portraits π€
