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
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.

Yesterday was spent going from one place to another in the hope of getting passed the second-leg of getting a new Iranian passport.
My passport is only valid for 5-years which I guess kind of marks how long it's been since I first came here as an adult to visit.
The main reason I had to do so much chasing around was due to me not having a National (ID) Card - knowing my ID number isn't enough in this case and thus I had to order the card and get a certificate in the mean time. So I can make a festive holiday to see my family.
Thankfully I had the help of my friend Reza who, like me, missed half the day at work to get this sorted - thanks again Reza!

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.
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...
