[pbacot]

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.

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

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.

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.

Nowadays, the economic issues are really tough. By the way, this is life.. nothing to complain.

When I was 14 I was flying to the UK from Australia and we had engine problems so the aircraft was grounded for a few days. the airline took us on a very long drive into the dessert to a hotel almost standing almost alone.

The other thing I remember is that the tv would not start until 4PM and the first thing everyday on TV was the then Shar Playing classical piano
