The tile work in that first image with reflective lamp hung in suspension is glorious and beautiful and the math in that is undeniable. The math, the colors, the pieces individual. Now, there were two aspects of it that seemed like they might also be "hanging down", but I don't think they were, but they might be 3-dimensional relatively speaking given the light they were projecting, but that might also just be an "optical illusion" and a light strategically placed.

That is why there is nothing like being there physically to differentiate the nuance that cannot really be understood in a 2-dimensional image.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day.

I'm listening to the Pogues presently - "Peace and Love" is the name of the album.

OK, so there was a "lamp" hanging down, and I won't check the image again before I finish typing this, but I hope we can agree on that - it was evident in basically a focal point in the image. It was beautiful as the whole image is to me. But then, off to the "sides" I noticed some seeming "projections" that had more light in them and I can't tell for sure if they are 3-dimensional or 2-dimensional (with a curve of course).

Do you remember?

* Edit - ok, I looked again and I think the images that appear to be projecting out are actually 2-dimensional "in a curved shape" and that just makes the whole thing even more wonderful in my mind.

** 2nd Edit - I know this is goofy, but I'm a Country Bumkin, so humor me......but now I think those two projecting out vessels with light and 8 red flowers on them each.....I think they are actually 3-dimensional because if not, the image wouldn't work depending on the perspective of the photograph. So, that is my final answer, but either way, the tile work, glass work I reckon, the beauty of it, the symmetry, the colors, the whole image of it, it is beautiful.

Thanks,

BK

And a Salaam Alaykum from me to you, just as they do next door in Indonesia.

This is tremendous. I so want to go to Iran, but I doubt I ever will, so thanks for sharing these images.

I always thought Flock of Seagulls "Iran so far away" was the better song to describe U$A policy towards the modern Persian state. Things are heating up so fast that Western (fake) financial markets are starting to melt--Down. Swiss Family Robinson appears to be stepping ever further into deep doo-doo...
