Wetland & Plains

Where Water Meets Horizon


Wetlands and plains exist in quiet contrast — one defined by water's slow, patient rhythm, the other by open space stretching to the horizon. Our galleries capture both worlds: the mirrored stillness of marshes and reed beds, the sweeping gold of grasslands under changing light. These are landscapes shaped by season and migration, home to life that thrives in transition. Our photographers document this delicate balance between water, land, and sky, framing habitats that are as fragile as they are vast.


Bojaq Nationa- Gilan, Iran

Located at the mouth of the Sefidrud River along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, Bojaq National Park is a rare and vital marine-terrestrial sanctuary. This photograph captures a sweeping, pastoral vista where wild and domestic horses graze peacefully on the lush coastal grasslands, set against the vast backdrop of the open sea. As Iran’s first registered marine-national park and a crucial Ramsar wetland, Bojaq presents a stunning ecological crossroads where sweeping delta meadows meet marine horizons. The image beautifully documents this harmonious landscape, capturing the timeless rhythm of animal life sustained by the rich, brackish ecosystems of the Caspian littoral.
