Damavand in Alborz Mountains of Iran is the highest live volcano in Asia, and the highest peak in the Middle East, at over 5600 m (18500 ft). It has a special place in Persian mythology and culture. In May, on a family visit to Iran I went to this little village, 2 hr drive north of Tehran, with stunning view to the peak, bringing back memories of my earlier years of night sky photography in 1990s in this area. Today is the National Day of Mt #damavand for Iranians as well as Tirgan midsummer celebration; one of the most ancient traditions that is still celebrated.
