From the site: "Richly-textured land, rarely seen in the West

Outside of politics, this is a fascinating, enchanting world, rarely shown in all its color. Since our first part we received many requests to continue with the series, and in fact, we'll continue to highlight the natural beauty of Near and Middle East countries, such as Armenia, Lebanon and Israel. In our humble opinion, people should learn to appreciate natural beauty and historic customs, without reaching for a "telescopic finder" of a rifle."

someone I know visited Iran recently...the photos he took were mindblowing...

wow yes I agree!

You don't have to look hard on the web to find fascinating, intelligent, most un-Ahmadinejad-ish Iranians. It is a remarkable culture.
If the kooks at the top of our country and theirs can keep their hands off each other, the day may come when we can share one another's heritage. There is much to learn from Iran.
