جزیره هرمز یکی از زیباترین مناطق ایران با مردمی خونگرمه که به علت عدم تبلیغ نسبت به بقیه جزایر جنوب . مناظر اون بکر و دیدنی باقیمانده.

These photos are simply

These photos are simply beauiful. My favorie one is #43. Thanks for sharing them with us. Simple yet great people with lots of soul. A party is not a party without Bandary music! Each part of the south has its own unique beaty that has been neglected and has not been appreciatted.Most Iranians only assciate Bandary Music with the south. Which is ok too. Now most of today regular songs and music that comes from LA have bandary flavor in them. Next time we are listening to bandary music,just imagine the warm bule waters of the south the similes the boats. Persian Gulf forever.

That old fort

by Shahriaar (not verified) on

This is in reply to Ali Nazaree. I think the fort is Portuguese and is from the time that the Portuguese took over the Southern Iranian Islands and also brought African slaves to Iran.

Salvery never took hold in Iran and we also got a side benefit: Bandari Music!

Warm Waters, Hormoz Island

by Ali Nazaree (not verified) on

In your collection of the Hormoz Island photographs, you showed pictures of what appeared to be a military fort with rusty cannons and cannon balls. Do you have any historical information on the fort you showed?

It looks really beautiful and serene

Thank you for sharing these photos with us. I enjoyed the untouched, natural beauty of the island, and as you indicated the charming faces of the innocent people.

How did you manage to pay a visit to this island? What is the vegetation like, and how safe is it to swim in the water (are there sharks?). The water seems wonderful for a swim!
