This image was captured last July in Chalous, Iran. Chalous is a northern city approximately 150km north of Tehran, and on the edge of the Caspian Sea. The image was captured around the same time as this one.

After looking at the image, a colleague of mine recited a very powerful poem, which translates to: 'If the wave knew that the shore will never hold its hand, it would never try as hard.' [Agar mowj midanest keh sahel, heech gah dastash ra nemeegeerad, barayeh recedan enghadr talash nemeekard]
