Tehran's 45m tall all marble Azadi Tower (1972). I was in Tehran to run the I Run Iran TehRUN in 2017. It was the first international run in Iran since decades.
It had some international coverage. You can see me in the back at 0:45 in this video on CNN:

The tower, and the museum underneath, was closed that day so we couldn't go up.
I managed to travel around the South of Tehran by taking Metro but unfortunately during Friday and holidays, the city seems to be like a ghost town. Traffic is like non-existence. And shops are mostly closed.
Luckily I found this beautiful wall mural at Saadi Road, a walking distance to Tehran Bazar.
Location : Saadi Road - Tehran, Iran
Finding a solution for having a better society must be the preoccupation of governments of all countries. Eradicating the poverty is a necessity. Countries in the middle east can work on similar projects, instead of giving the chance to the growth of enmity.
"Breaking the cycle takes time. Be patient and gentle with yourself. Set long term goals. And be persistent! Remember to stretch, laugh and be unshakable!" - {Sri Sathya Sai Baba}
The flight from Tehran to Mashhad takes about 2 hours and passing by the barren mountains. This picture was captured while I was in the plane.

North Tehran city skyline under clouds and the landmark Milad tower, Iran. This was one of those rare days in which one has nothing to do, which I dedicated to hunting iconic views of the Iranian capital. Starting here and ending in the Tabiat bridge.

Dominating the skyline of Tehran’s western suburbs, Milad Tower is 435m high, including 120m of antenna, making it, in 2017, the world’s sixth-tallest free-standing tower. Bearing a striking resemblance to Menara Kuala Lumpur, its octagonal concrete shaft tapers up to a pod with 12 floors, including both enclosed and open observation decks, a gallery, a cafe and a revolving restaurant At the base of the tower is the separate Tehran Milad Tower International Convention Centre, where concerts are occasionally held.

#The Ball of Pomodoro
Pesaro Italy
The impressive ball lying on the surface of a fountain from which you look at the sea, is the bronze cast made in 1998 by sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro on a polyester model arrived in Pesaro in 1971 but realized in 1967 for the Expo ' Montreal. The original work is today in Rome in front of the main entrance of the Foreign Ministry, the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Conceived as the pure vision of reality, the sphere is no more than the world torn and cracked by external events.
Arnaldo Pomodoro (born 23 June 1926) is an Italian sculptor. He was born in Morciano, Romagna, Italy. He currently lives and works in Milan. His brother, Giò Pomodoro (1930–2002) was also a sculptor.
Some of Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" (Sfera con Sfera) can be seen in the Vatican Museums, Trinity College, Dublin, the United Nations Headquarters and Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, American Republic Insurance Company in Des Moines, Iowa, the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, the University of California, Berkeley and the Tel Aviv University, Israel.
you can find a gallery of his work here :

From my observation, when traffic lights went red in Tehran, the traffic kept driving through the intersection.
It was up to the traffic whose light had just gone green to inch forward slowly to narrow the way through until the red light traffic chickened out and stopped coming through.
Then the green light traffic could drive through the intersection...and keep driving through after the light turned red...
This photo is towards the end of the game when the motorbikes can still get through the gap...
