Teheran. La Torre Azadi (Torre della Libertà), alta 45 metri, fu costruita nel 1971 dall'architetto bahai Hossein Amanat in occasione delle cerimonie organizzate dall'ultimo Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, per festeggiare il 2500º anniversario della fondazione dell'Impero achemenide da parte di Ciro il Grande.

A view of city of Kashan, Iran with a beautiful mountain range in the background.
The photo was taken from the rooftop of my hotel room in early morning.
Kashan (Persian: کاشان, also Romanized as Kāshān; also known as Kachan)[1] is a city in and the capital of Kashan County, in the province of Isfahan, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 248,789, in 67,464 families.[2]
The etymology of the city name comes from the Kasian, the original inhabitants of the city, whose remains are found at Tapeh Sialk dating back 9,000 years; later this was changed to "Kashian", hence the town name. Between the 12th and the 14th centuries Kashan was an important centre for the production of high quality pottery and tiles. In modern Persian, the word for a tile (kashi) comes from the name of the town.
Kashan is cited in the neighbourhood of two of highest peaks of Karkas chain, Mount Gargash to the southwest of Kashan (the home of Iran national observatory, the largest astronomical telescope of Iran) and Mount Ardehaal in the west of Kashan, also known as "Damavand of Kashan" and the highest peak of Ardehaal mountains (end part of Karkas chain in central Iran).

Masouleh (often called Masuleh) is a one thousand-year-old village and one of the most beautiful places in Iran. It is located in the mountains in northern Iran and it has a population of 1,500 inhabitants. In the morning and evening hours the village gets surrounded by a thick mist which practically hides all the houses. Houses are painted in a yellow-brownish color. The village is built on a hill so steep that the roof of one house is the pathway for the next. Iranians say that Masouleh is the most beautiful village in Iran.
According to the Lonely Planet guide to Iran,
"Hiding behind high mud-brick walls [in Kashan] are hundreds of once-grand traditional houses. Built during the 19th century, most have long-since been carved up or are literally turning to dust, but several have been restored and, mercifully for the city, the idea is catching. Those that can be visited are monuments to Kashan as a Qajar-era commercial hub, embellished with fine stucco panels, ostentatious stained glass and lofty badgirs (windtowers) all set around a series of interlinked courtyards."
The Karun River providess the best fishing opportunities in Iran, before flows into the Shatt Al Arab River, which forms the border between Iran and Iraq.
Country: Iran
Location: Simin Dasht
Train: Train 218 from Teheran to Sari
Schnellzug 218 hat gerade Simin Dasht verlassen und fährt mit fast einer Stunde Verspätung auf Firuzkhu zu. Die Landschaft am ersten November präsentiert sich schon in herbstlichen Farben. Dazu passt die bunte Garnitur des Schnellzuges. Unter anderem befinden sich Dänische N-Wagen im Zugverband.
Bespannt wird der Zug durch eine GT26 der Iranischen Staatsbahn.
Many Iranian roundabouts have decorations of some kind. At night they seem like fairground attractions.

TEHRAN, IRAN - JUNE 18: Iranian supporters of defeated reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi demonstrate on June 18, 2009 in Tehran, Iran. Thousands of people have continued to protest in the streets of Tehran today with expectations of an even larger protest tomorrow as a day of mourning is planned for the eight people killed in Monday's protests. Iran has banned foreign media from covering rallies in the country and Iran's Guardian Council reportedly said that they would recount some of the votes in the presidential election that critics say was unfairly won by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinehjad.

Photo material from Iran has become extraordinarily difficult to obtain, with journalists either thrown out of the country or prohibited from doing their job.
