With the beginning of the plum harvest season in Nishapur, the rooftops of many rural houses, especially in the city of Khoru, known as the capital of Iranian plums, take on a golden hue. The freshly harvested plums are spread out under the sunlight to dry, so they can later be sent to the dried fruit market; an image that has shaped the life and economy of the people in this region for years.
