I was inspired by these pictures and here's a short poem I just wrote (though it's not directly related to these photos):

live your life today
stone
said
because tomorrow you decay

BUT I MUST DISAGREE
I WILL LIVE FOREVER
SAID THE YOUNG CACTUS TREE
MY HEART IS AS BIG AS THE SEA
MY LOVE AS FAR AS EYE CAN SEE
AND ONE THING I GUARANTEE
THAT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO ME
MY SPIRIT WILL BE FREE

Iran has an area at 1,648,195 km². According to Population Reference Bureau's mid-2007 estimate, Iran's population is 71,200,000, though some organizations give lower estimates.

Iran is a beautiful country of many different people and wonderfully ancient cultures, picturesque four seasons, scenic views, delicious cuisine, breathtaking architecture, and much much more. I will have more to say about Iran in future posts....
