DescriptionFive colour photographs by Dan McKenzie, taken from 35mm slides, of a field project to install strain meters in qanats at Dasht-e-Piaz [Plain of Onions], c.200 km south of Mashad in north-east Iran. The first image shows the field workers lowering a rope down the vertical shaft of a qanat to about 30m deep to access the horizontal tunnel at the base in which the strain meter was placed. The second is a group photograph of three Iranian specialists [?mohgenies] who dig the quanats. The last three images show a ghad bherd (dust devil) on the plain.
