Snow

The mountains covered in snow and deep gorges on the Turkey /Iranian border are stunning. We've come here for a couple of days breather. Today we went really really high up onto a mountain in a cable car. It was terrifying at times especially when a power cut left us dangling! The place you arrive at is right next to an old observatory Saddam built to keep an eye on the town in the valley.
(Extra photos of a gorge and a cow- a whole herd was making its way home through a village as we drove)
