Very lovely pictures and hardwork

Your photos bring back phenomenal memories of my 3 visits to Naqsh-e-Rustam in December, 2006. It is a great pity the Iranian Embassy in Australia is not issuing Iranian Tourist Visas at present - I would have taken a whole group of firends, to be as awestruck as I was when I was there! One of the most amazing archaeological sites on the planet - a 'must see' if anyone can ever get to make the trip there!
