PERSIA

That's the old name of present day Iran. I think that's a prettier name.  I also think these are pretty impressive photographs. Do you agree?


 Old city gate.




 An old town part of Tehran.




 Another part of the old city.




 They call this the Park of Dialogue.




 This is a statue of an old Persian astronomer.




 A park in northern Tehran.




 Here is a traditional restaurant.




 On the hillside.



 Outside the city.




 Mount Damavand


Fun --

Did I read that right?

AFTER TEA BREAK, STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD

Outside a secondhand shop: 
WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC. WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?



Spotted in a safari park:(I sure hope so)
ELEPHANTS PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR


Seen during a conference: FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN'T KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR



Notice in a farmer's field:

  1. What was the name of the book... Something like Reading Lolita in Tehran. It was a bestseller, by an Iranian woman, a professor, who had stayed for years after the fall of the shah, describing what life was like there now.

  2. I saw an art program that claimed that mosaics were popular and flourished because artists couldn't depict humans. Not sure, but interesting idea, although astronomer has a statue, and a face so I've got to look into that.
