A shepherd moving his flocks inside a shelter during the dusty storm and rain which caused the whole village to be muddy, in Khosestan, Iran. It is raining heavily after 20 years but the local people call it: “The medicine after death.” Iran’s nomads have been making the same migration for millennia. In spring they headed for the cooler pastures of the Zagros, where grass for their flocks of sheep and goats was abundant. At the end of autumn they would return to Iran’s oil-rich Khuzestan Province, their animals strong and well fed to make it through the winter. On the way from Masjed Solayman to Shoushtar in Peier-Kary Village.

Pastir premješta svoja stada u sklonište tokom prašnjave oluje i kiše koja je cijelo selo pretvorila u blato, u Khozestanu, Iran. Nakon 20 godina ponovo pada jaka kiša, ali lokalni ljudi je zovu: “Lijek nakon smrti.” Nomadi se u Iranu već hiljadama godina sele i putuju na isti način. U proljeće idu ka hladnijim pašnjacima Zagrosa, gdje ima obilje trave za njihova stada ovaca i koza. Krajem jeseni vraćaju se u iransku naftom bogatu provinciju Khuzestan, sa životinjama koje su jake i dobro uhranjene da izdrže zimu. Na putu od Masjed Solaymana do Shoushtara, u selu Peier-Kary.
