I had to wait for loading, a lot. Only 20% of the images are loading though.
Majid, I don't think this thread gonna work. For technical reasons only.

Hi Majid,

in 1996 I spent six months in Karaj. Where we used to build a production facility for dialysis filters for the Red Crescent Society. I have only positive memories of that time. I met a lot of nice people who showed me also the impressive landscape.

Let's hope!
Politicians are the greatest businessmen and the boundaries (physical and mental) are their tool IMO!

Wonderful to see these different images, especially the beautiful buildings. I admit my image of Iran is that pictures of women or the former shah would be forbidden.

Mates, there was some issue here, and the internet was so slow to reach out. I wish for a lasting peace in the region where everyone thinks about thriving together.
