a series of travel images from Iran, Kharanaq (Kharanagh) is a village in central Iran, north of the city of Yazd. At an altitude of some 1700 m it has a dry barren climate. Its crumbling buildings have a sense of a lost oasis in the middle of a desert. The history of the town goes back some 4500 years, it's a pleasant and picturesque place to explore the ruins.
