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.

How is Fordow?

@majid I hope you and your family (friends) stay safe sir!

@majid

Stay well brother. Peace and safety to all, far too much bullshine going on lately.

[majid]

@rv1974 I have no idea, mate! I hope it is not polluting for ordinary people. Let's pray for a lasting peace in the region and collaboration between the two great nations.

[majid]

Thanks for asking. We are doing well, though faced some issues.

I do some 25*35 cm watercolors in intervals, whenever I can spare some time. Mainly focused on old Tehran (Qajar era), based on BW photos.

Here is one of them with the details:

Sublime.

@Mike-Amos Dear Mike, the job is in progress, but slowly.

Here is another one from Shah (Imam ) Mosque, Tehran, Qajar era.
