An ancient Platanus orientalis in the Alborz foothills—an ideal subject for texture, scale, and moody nature portraits. Photograph massive trunk patterns, branching silhouettes, and dappled light through the canopy. Visit early morning or late afternoon in cooler months for clearer air and softer light; spring/fall bring the most photogenic foliage.
