The charming village of Masouleh is the site where the architecture intimately relates to the rocky, mountainous terrain of Gilan province, and houses hug the cliffs, rising steeply upward, with rooftops and village streets virtually indistinguishable. The village of Masouleh, among the woods of Gilan, is said to be over 1200 years old. It is like a great stairway, with the roof on each house leading to the neighbor's house above. Oblivious to the march of time, traditional crafts and country living continue to flourish in this singular little place.
In this book the photographer has tried to introduce the reader to the different magnificent sceneries of the village, rural houses, and simple daily life of the Masouleh villagers.
