Time to change gears to the people and places of Thailand. Before that is done I would like to post 30-40 pictures from Iran. These are pictures that pre-date the Islamic Revolution and were taken between 1976 and 1979. Bare with me, they were taken with the same crappy instamatic camera that was used during my army days in Thailand. I like to refer to them as "some of the 'best of the worst' pictures" ever taken!
Wikipedia: Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque is one of the masterpieces of Iranian architecture that was built during the Safavid Empire, standing on the eastern side of Naqsh-i Jahan Square, Esfahan, Iran. Construction of the mosque started in 1603 and was finished in 1619. It was built by the chief architect Mohammadreza Isfahani, during the reign of Shah Abbas I of Persia.
The purpose of this mosque was for it to be private to the royal court (unlike the Shah Mosque, which was meant for the public). For this reason, the mosque does not have any minarets and is smaller. Indeed, few Westerners at the time of the Safavids even paid any attention to this mosque, and they certainly did not have access to it. Today, these doors are open to visitors.
Playing Sheikh over the weekend 😆

Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was initiated by HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who wanted to establish a structure which unites the cultural diversity of Islamic world, the historical and modern values of architecture and art.
