Historical Shazdeh Garden, full of fall colors

A photo collection depicts colorful scenes of the well-preserved Shazdeh Garden in southeastern Iran on December 2, 2016. The rectangular garden, spanning around 5.5 hectares, provides its visitors with delightful yet greenish peace and quiet though it is situated on margins of the central Iranian desert. Sprawled in Mahan, a city in Kerman Province, the garden was founded by Abdolhamid-Mirza Farmanfarma, the then governor of Kerman in the late Qajar era (1785 to 1925).  It also embraces a two-floor residential structure at the upper end. UNESCO describes the Persian Garden an idea that combines natural elements with manmade components in a bid to materialize the concept of Eden or Paradise on Earth.
