Beautiful Parachinar.

[Marbles 16,146]

^ Wonderful pics of Parachinar. I haven't seen this side of the city before. Who took these pics??

[Marbles 16,146]

Ok, I will post some of my Iran pics.

Tus, Iran.

Museum and Tomb of Persian poet Firdawsi, the author of Persian epic 'Shahnameh'.

Reliefs depicting scenes from the Shahnameh. The are located in the basement below the main building of the tomb.

A picture taken from the same vantage point was printed on the entrance ticket to the tomb and museum. I tried to capture the same picture with success.

A sculpture of Firdawsi:

I am playing with my little Firdawsi souvenir I bought from the site:

Have you been to Parachinar?

Parachinar has much more beautiful places but I could not find pictures on the internet. Next time when I go there I will upload them.

These photos are taken by somebody else. But its my village and 100% Shia populated area so I uploaded these pics for our brothers and sisters to visit this ignored place too.

From my trip to Thailand.

Demon statue at the Suvarnabhumi Airport, Bangkok.

The beautiful courtyard of air port.

A roadside temple

The Starbucks just down the street from where I was staying.

Cloudy and windy, not the best day to be at the beach. But it was fun.

Now who wants to see some Muay Thai action :shifty:

I have not been to Parachinar so far and a visit is unlikely any time soon given the safety situation there. But I'd love to visit one day especially after these wonderful pics you posted. I didn't know it was so beautiful, really.

Is your village inhabited by Turi Shias? Do you also belong to Turi tribe?

I have plenty to keep you busy. So just watch this space ma'am!

Iran (2007)

Neshapur: The tomb of Persian poet, mathematician, astronomer and scientist, Omar Khayyam, the author of the famous Rubaiyat. It is situated in a beautiful garden.

Inside the structure. The 'dome':

Tus: This is a heavily restored building of historical importance dating back from the Abbasid era. It's called Harooniyeh if I'm not mistaken. I forgot what it was famous for. Someday help if they know:

Mashhad: A monument to Iranian king Nadir Shah Afshar. The place boasts a museum and the king himself is buried here. Nadir Shah is famous for his battles and expansion of Persian empire as far as half of what is now Pakistan in the East and up to Georgia and Dagestan in North-West.

I like how the king on horse is juxtaposed against the limitless sky:

Near Mashhad: The mausoleum of Khwajeh Rabi ibn Haitham al-Asadi as–Thawri, a companion of Imam Ali. Imam Reza is said to have visited his shrine on more than one occasions. The building dates from 17th century during the time of Shah Abbas.

The vast compound of the shrine with a mosque and a public cemetry as well as a big book shop where I bought a collection of Ayatullah Khomeini's poetry, mostly poems in ghazal format, and found out that he (Khomeini) used "al-Hindi" as his nom de plume, referring to his Kashmiri roots.

More of Iran! (Pardon the quality as many of them are taken from a lousy mobile camera in days when a 2.0 MP cam on your cell phone was a thing to brag about ha!)

Qom: Shrine of Bibi Masoomah at night:

At daytime:

A mall in Mashhad: Bazar-e Buzurg Baynul Milli (Grand International Bazar?)

Forgot where it was:

Outskirts of Tehran: Ariel view from the hill top shrine of Bibi Sheher Bano. Authenticity of the place is apocryphal at best:

Marbles ready to devour a fluffy muffin at Imam Khomeini Airport (in the middle of nowhere) Tehran.

This is not Google Earth. This is a shot taken from the airplane window. I am flying over Afghanistan.

Last batch of Iran pics.

Astan Quds Razavi - The shrine complex of Imam Reza (as) in Mashhad.

It is forbidden to take cameras inside the complex. The security at many checkpoints make sure cameras don't pass through. Technically speaking, even taking pics with mobile phone cameras are not allowed but some people do it. I also managed to take some discreetly and made sure I was not being looked at :Hijabi:

Bad quality pics as these were taken from a really basic camera phone but still, something better than nothing.

Inside the shrine:

Burial chamber of the Imam. Very crowded. You have to elbow your way to touch it. I was reprimanded for taking this pic by a broomstick-like thing yielding official.

Iltemas-e-dua.
