Photos from Iran

[Paul Lange]

Was going through some of my photo's when I was in Iran in 2008. Just thought I would share them. As you can see Iran is full of ordinary people and things, not WMD's, Religious Fanatics as some would have you believe.

Not all of Iran is pretty but there is much of it that is very nice.

I like the shot of the vaulted ceiling/ archway. I think the Muslim architecture can make some great shots with all it's symmetry and the inlay work close up is truley spectacular.

Oh Don't Hamish. Its bloody hot out there. I remember flying out somewhere and the pilot announced it was 35 deg C. That might seem wonderful but it was 10:30 at night!

 

[Paul Lange]

Vic, as for vaulted ceilings what do you think of these.

The pics might not come out too good as they are the low res one I keep on the computers drive.

you ot the photo of the sparkly one that i was sayin is in baraka

 

[Paul Lange]

Yep, Its from Isfahan which is one of the locations in Baraka. Fantastic place, blew me away when I first got there. And were not talking explosives here either before you start!

they are awesome, although I get the feeling that close up it would be more impressive. The inlay work on these buildings is truley remarkable.

There are ordinary looking fanatics, They don,t just leave nukes in plain veiw ,but most Irainian people are just trying to make a liveing and keep there women from haveing any voice or being seen,and trying to keep from being torchered or killed by there insaine government,and it's insaine laws. They still burrey women up to there heads and throw small rocks at them for hours till they are a bloody dead pulp.

My wife has freinds that where lucky to get out of Irain, glad you wheren't imprisoned or worse and made it back.
