Photos of Iran #1

by Laura Beauchamp

Being in Thailand, all I want to do is put photos up about Thailand but as prom­ised here are some more shots of things we saw and did in Iran. I also promise you that I’ll make a special post about Persepolis. I got some good footage and photos.

For now, enjoy these.

The tra­di­tional “female” door knocker. There is a sep­ar­ate and dif­fer­ent door knocker for men. This is so the person answer­ing the door knows which sex to expect on the other side. If it is a man knock­ing and a woman is answer­ing the door then she must first cover up with her head scarf and chador.

The tra­di­tional “male” door knocker. This set of door knock­ers was on the door an his­tor­ical house in Yazd, Iran.

Some women of Yazd walking down one of the beau­ti­ful mud-brick streets.

Some boys playing soccer in the his­tor­ical section of Yazd, Iran. Only the his­tor­ical section is still made of mub-brick, everything else looks like any modern city.

I noticed this hand­print on the wall while Chris and I walked through an his­tor­ical mud-brick house that was cur­rently under renov­a­tion and restoration.

When I saw this mirror in the same house as the white hand­print I couldn’t help but take a funny photo. It looks like I’m stick­ing out my tongue even though I’m not.

The mirror worped and twisted my face in such amuzing ways, I just had to take another. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :)
