"I am afraid of heights; I have fallen from a high place. I am afraid of fire; I have been burned many times. I am afraid of separation; often have I been offended. I am not afraid of death; I have never died before, not even once."

-Abbas Kiarostami

The sound behind this image is the sound of the pollen snow, barking dogs tired of the cold And the howl of the wind among the mountains and the trees. Sounds that can still be heard in the silence of the photo.

The Nearby Mountains was taken in Tehran in 2021, in middle of Covid Pandemic.
