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.

Slow is good mate, life has many facets which all clamour for our attention. I hope you, your family, nation and the other human beings in it are well.

Thanks, dear Mike. It is more challenging than before, and I also dream of a lasting peace in the region and reconciliation between the two great nations.
I dream of a wise person who dares to suggest a union in the region, following the example set by EU countries.
