How could I have never seen those Iranian cave dwellings before? Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Isn't it? I always wondered what they looked like inside; too bad there wasn't more pictures of interiors.
Ah yes, I too have come across photos of that ancient Iranian city whilst looking for inspiration for adventure environments. I'm firmly of the opinion that the most amazing fantasy landscapes and peoples are to be found right here on Earth.
Check out the Microsoft photography competitions too.
