A Day in Cactus Farm, Mahallat

Cactus has always been a contradiction for me; being tough and soft at the same time, being a source of water in deserts' drought, growing splendid flowers within harsh thistles and finally visiting a Cacti farm in Mahallat, Iran!
It is a farm growing around 1,000 species of cactus, delivered to both domestic and export markets. Simultaneously, it attracts thousands of visitors and tourists each year.
I hope to enjoy this gallery.

A Superb gallery of such an unusual place. The shallow dof shots are my favorites. I had alway assumed these would be farmed outdoors in hotter cliamates but these are under glass by the klook of your pictures. A green house in England is hot , in Iran it must be unbearable.
