Beautiful pictures. I was once married to an Iranian, but never visited there. I am in the process of writing some children's books based on stories my ex-husband told me, stories of learning good manners and compassion for people. I am looking for good pictures to illustrate my books, thus my visit to your site.

You kindly commented on one of my photos and after seeing the mastery of your work, I'm humbled. I lived in Kermanshah for 7 months during an unfortunate time and didn't get to get out and see these wonderful sights you present here. Martial Law times. It makes me sad that I missed all of that. You must travel a great deal. Keep up the fantastic work, its inspiring. Linda S

Breathtaking photography and an eye-opener for anyone interested in the rich heritage of Iran. It is a shame that the media never gives Iran its due and focuses instead on the excesses of the ruling religious dictatorship. Thanks to your site, I am now motivated to visit Iran. It also nice to note that the Iranian government has recently started encouraging tourism and has made obtaining a tourist visa significantly easier than in the past.

It's going to take many visits for me to work my way through all of these galleries, but I've greatly enjoyed my visits to date. I'm interested in the classical / pre-classical period, and these galleries provide an overview of many sites that unfortunately I'll probably never get to visit myself. Many of the shots also allow the viewer (well, this one anyway) to reflect on what it must have been like to have been there when these places thrived. A definite vote.

Fantastic imagery here. First of all, thank you for your wonderful comments on my gallery, but most of all, I'd like to let you know that Persia was a refuge for all 4 of my grandparents when they escaped the Russian Revolution. They spent many years farming there before they made their way to the US. It's fascinating to see areas that they might have traveled through. Thank you.

Hello, I congratulate you for your photo gallery. The images are moving. I have a particular affection for Persepolis. I went there twice and I find It impressive. Unfortunately I am satisfied to look at that these photographs now that I live in France. The next time that you there will embrace the walls for me. Still thousand cheer for your gallery.

I have spent much of my life working with stone, both for construction and for ornament. And images like this are always make me pause and consider how much things have changed, yet stayed the same. And how exciting it would be to be able to go back in time and talk with the ancient artists and craftsmen who created these works and discover what I could learn from them.

Savak Poonegar		23-Apr-2007 14:05
wonderful pictures. The credit goes to the conquerors who came after the Persian Empire for preserving the monuments. I visited Tehran in 1991, and since I was then the Chairman of Pak Railways, I expressed my desire to see the train of the Shah of Iran. First I thought that the train may be lying in the open and may be exposed to dust and ravages of time. But I waspleasantly surprised to see the well preserved train lying in a shed, construced for this special purpose. It was a wonderful experience.

This is a fabulous gallery, Ali! I am a bit of of an archeology-buff and have quite a few books about the ancient cultures across the world, including ancient Persia. What is great with your photography is that it portrays a wider range of sites, and details within a site, than most books - which is really nice to see. I hope to travel to some of these sites and see them with my own eyes, but for now it is great to view these pictures. Voted, of course!
