Okay I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but here it is: with nearly 90% of the country being dasert , why not throw in a picture of the dasert!!!

Mohammad Thank you for your unbiased look at my homeland Iran.

Hi Robert Thanks for sharing pictures but why only photos with religious tone, how about pre Islamic (Persepolis, Pasargad, Bam,..) or even modern monuments and land marks. Iran is more than just mosques and Islamic culture.

I wish our leaders change their mind twards world and they behave as an human instead of Donkey! In this way all people around the world could come and see beatiful Iran! This is unbelievable but..................

Hallo Robert As an America I only know so much about Iran. The thought of going there dose scare me a bit. After all the old guard has reason to be mad at us. Sometimes I wish we would just stay out of everyones, other countries affairs and focus on what needs to be done here in the US. That however is not very profitable is it? Danke!, Peter

Dear Robert, Thanks for your efforts to represent a new face of Iran rather official cliche. As an Iranian I wish you have had chance to know secular side of Iranian society aswell.

saeed		12-Nov-2005 08:54
thanks about your visit from iran

Ali		12-Nov-2005 08:39
Thanks God at least someone is thinking positive in Iran.But in addition to religious places that seems to be the focal point of the photos Iran has a great diverse nature and many wellknown ancient sites which seem not included in the list and that I strongly recommend to be added to the glossary.

Reza		12-Nov-2005 08:27
did you get a chance to visit the north part of Iran? Masouleh village is a place to see. Rasht, Anzali, Ramsar, and Chalous are all beautiful and different than the rest of Iran.

Sassan		12-Nov-2005 08:26
Only mosques ? what about nature, parks, museums, ancient relics, cinema, theatre, universities, people, other cities, for more photos, take a look at :http://flickr.com/photos/iranpx/ <<< a lot of lovely photos from Iran(Former Persia)
