Here is photo of Iran ancient air-condition that I have taken in one of those wonderful teahouses in Kerman, which was originally beautiful bath house. As everyone is smoking water pipe, smoke from it nicely rises up and beautifully mixes with sunlight.

Buildings in the Iranian desert regions are constructed according to the specific climatic conditions and differ with those built in other climates. The desert buildings are equipped with air traps, arched roofed, water reservoirs with arched domes and ice stores for the preservation of ice.

Air trap was the specific feature of architecture in the majority of warm regions. In ancient times the architects were obliged to rely on natural energies to render the inside condition of the buildings pleasant. Since in arid and dry climates the daytime in summer is very warm and at nights cold, traditional Iranian architects benefited from this vast difference of temperature to cool the house. Air traps were normally in a suitable location in the house according to the size of the building, the number of air traps that was necessary to cool the summer apartment.

Hi Lucie, amazing shot. the sun rays are perfectly captured with good colours and light.
excellent POV and good focus, and an interesting note.
thanks, ciao

Hi Lucie,
What a wonderful photograph. At first glance I thought you had somehow managed to capture a flying saucer. Your informative note helped me in understanding the perspective. Very well captured indeed.

Hello Lucie,

WOW! Excellent photo. I really like the way you have captured the "Feeling" of the sunlight shinging through the opening in the roof.

David...

P.S. - Excellent note.

Hi Lucie

Nice frame.

Incredible shot Lucie! I like this so much - the sunlight coming through the holes makes streaks or rays which are very beautiful. At first glance this looks almost like a comet with the light rays forming the tail. Great work!

Hi Lucie,
Very nice shot. It looks like a scene in "The Raiders of the Lost Ark", the first Indiana Jones movie...
The walls are very nice. And the reflected light is quite stunning too. Don't know what that thing is in one of the filter's cricle, but whatever..!
Nice shot

Best regards

Hi Lucie,

Magnificent photo and informative note ! The light is very well caught and we see very well the colours and the motives of the bricks of the roof and walls. The composition with the rays in diagonal is well done.

Hello,

Superbe prise de vue intérieur. La lumière y est splendide. Malgré le contraste important entre la clareté de l'ouverture et le plafond, le niveau de détail est impressionnant dans les parties sombres.
Excellent.

Lucie, you really know how to capture light like magic! Maybe it's (like you wrote yourself) the fact of showing the essential part of a scene? Anyhow I like this "illuminating" picture a lot. TFS, Mike

Le soleil passant par la trappe à air et laissant ces trait de lumière et superbe ! L'exposition est parfait laissant apparaitre les détails des briques ! La trappe à air est idéalement placée...
Du grand art !!
Superbe !!

Striking image, excellent exposure. You may want to try some color noise reduction. Lightroom is particularly good for this.

Best wishes
