    Next to the Koran, the most revered book in Iran is possibly, the collection of poems written by Hafez. Not only is this book a literary masterpiece, it can also divine one’s fortunes. At the Tomb of Hafez in Shiraz, I was greeted by the Director and a member of his staff. They invited me for tea, which I accepted. I joined them in their office, listened to the sounds of conversation. People came in and out to borrow (or return) one of many books on the Director’s desk. I photograph the staff member just when two women opened the door. They came to borrow a book of Hafez’s poems. by: fionachan Views[676] During my three weeks in Iran, I am fascinated by the women. They come in all colours of clothing, black being the most common. Women from a country town dress conservatively, while their city counterparts prefer vibrant colours. I saw this woman at the Afif-Abad Garden in Shiraz. She was stunningly beautiful and I approached her for a photograph. I couldn’t learn more about her as language was a barrier. She was the most fashionable woman I saw. A modern side to Iran. by: fionachan Views[834] Celebrating a couchsurfers birthday in Shiraz, Iran by: wanderlustkiera Views[435]

    The smell..... of ripe mandarins and rain that passed.The "Blue Mountain" takes off his blue velvet and bake brown in the last breath of a perfect sunset. "Nilgiri forms the cornerstone of "The Great Barrier" to Annapurna I, but it is more than just a barrier to 8000 meter glory. It is in fact a beautiful, massive, tri-summited peak, whose scope and relief dominate the Kali Gandaki Valley floor from as far south as Tatopani to as far north as Kagbeni. "
