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

            @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.

                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:

                        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.

                                      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. I remembered the complexity of the wall decorations almost jewel like and intricate. The other things I remember was getting an electric shock every tim I touched any metal I was told it was the combination of almost zero humidity an wearing man made textile shirt. 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
