Looking Up A Well

This is how it looks like from the well up.

This is taken from the Kariz Underground City (Kariz is the Urdu word for underground) in Kish Island, an island territory of Iran. It has an underground museum two hundred meters below ground. They developed this into a museum and you can see the wells from below like this one. There were more than a dozen of wells like this where the natives of Kish and other nearby places like Dubai (yes, Dubai) get some drinking water. During the ancient times, the Kariz is the only source of drinking water of these places.
