Majid, your images are "not allowed" to be embedded on this site - moreover, when I try to display them individually, I get a standard 403 ("Forbidden") error.

It's either some gremlins or a normal way of a site preventing images to be "hot-linked" (or something else like you can only see them when logged in - like attachments here on the forums)

majid

is is same for others? as I am not member of the original website, almost all of of them belong to http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/

Very nice, impressive images, from a beautiful country.
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!
