The State of Hormozgan

I have published several posts from different parts of Iran. Here is a rather different one from the South near the Persian Gulf. People of Hormozgan have occupied this part of the world for thousands of years now. They are professional ship builders, have distinctive accent and looks.

A weekend market in the centre of Tehran

A young lady looking into the mirror for beauty and hope... a clergy man searching through the tinker's goods...and this is Tehran. A 200 years old city which can be hardly regarded as modern; yet through with all forms of tradition.

P.S. Women are forced to wear head scarf since 1979 (islamic) revolution.

My PhD degree

Here is a copy of my PhD degree for all those who might dare to doubt it!

P.S. stop making the mistake saying Kordan doesn't have a PhD from Oxford. No one does! Oxford doesn't issue PhD. They give DPhil. I leant this the hard way few years back when made the mistake calling a friend's DPhil a PhD; he almost strangled me.

Golestan Forest

As you have probably noticed, I have started to introduce different parts of Iran in my blog (which is turning into a photo blog gradually). Golestan is in the north near the city where my mum comes from (remember the add about Shahrood?). Golestan conservation area, including Golestan Forest, is one of the largest conservation areas in the world. There are so many people who have devoted their lives entirely to protecting this conservation land. Although it is vastly being devastated by industrialisation and the "arrogance of humansim".
