Your photos never cease to amaze me, Afs. They're absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks XDC! You are too kind! \:\)

Fame, that's hilarious. Of course I've not been paying much attention to the news lately. I've been in my own little world.

You can only marry again with consent of your first wife, which now commonly comes as a clause in marriage license. If she doesn't allow you, which I wouldn't, then you can't. \:p

C'mon, I thought you wanted to share me with JustMe and Lavinia \:D

Where are they anyway? stalking Pacino again? \:D

I don't like the idea of sharing, unless it involves Matthew Macfadyen, Clive Owen, Hugh Grant and George Clooney on the side. \:p

I've heard from JM recently, but have not checked on Lav. I should, one of these days...

I've uploaded those pictures, but I've not been in the mood to write an introduction or to settle what I'd like to show and what not. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it justice, but I'll try my best one of these days...

The New York Times travel section did a nice piece on Esfahen in yesterday's issue--in fact, it was the section's cover story.

There's an amazing photo of Imam Square that spreads across the two page piece. In re: to the Sheik Lotfollah Mosque the author writes, "It's tiled dome was covered by twirling black-and-white veines and turquoise flowers, a design with the precision more of fine china than of monumental architecture." And that's what astonishes me most about both the Lotfollah and Imam mosques, all of the seemingly infinite intricacies that went into the work...it's really unlike anything else in the world. After all, there's a centuries-old saying that Esfahan is "half the world," meaning it contains fully half of the earth's wonders.

I was especially able to enjoy this piece, Afs, b/c of the wonderful mini-lesson you've given us on your home-city. It truly is one of the world's great wonders.

Thank you Don Jasani! However I'm a retired photographer, and this thread has been resurrected from the depth of GBB!!
