Perspolis (Shiraz, Iran)


This is a photo of Perspolis, capital of Achaemenid Empire 500 BC. It is located in Shiraz in Fars province in Iran.

The stone engravings are unbelievable!

Those of you who haven't seen it don't know what you're missing! :-)

My dear Susan,

some day I would love to travel around the world and see places with all the fresh Webheads' eyes; I could not think of a better guide than you to show me around in the ancient times :-)

WAR AGAINST TERRORISM, dedicated to Crusader George

WAR AGAINST TERRORISM , dedicated to “Crusader” George Lips gray-blue, nose still running, streaking his face A grimy white bandage hugging his baby fat His dark wide eyes stare accusingly into mine thru the camera lens Sweet little three-year-old How can I possibly make you see the soldiers only want to set you free? How to help you understand they merely want to save you from yourself by beating the “terrorism” out of your filthy Muslim blood? Alas! You are yet too young or you would now know what your teenage sister will never forget The precious price of “democracy.” * * * * Lovely little darling with those curly long lashes look the other way, please. They are coming again and it’s time to "turn the other cheek." By (Seyyedeh) Susan Marandi

My BA students' blogs

Hello all, I finally started using blogs for my BA students' Essay Writing Class! It is a new experience for us all, so bear with us while we blunder thru, but I may add that I'm proud of the efforts my students have put in, and I hope you feel moved to visit several of their blogs and honor us with your comments.

Celebrating baby blogs and a newborn wiki! :-)

Hello all! Finally, a new entry in my blog! Yay!! :-) I bet most of you had given up on me by now! I know I had! ;-) Still, I hope you will feel that it was worth the long wait after seeing the newborn weblogs of my Essay Writing Class at Al-Zahra (a.k.a. Azzahra) University. My girls have done a good job, if I say so myself. This year we have gone a step further and have created a classroom wiki, as well! I hope you'll have time to drop by and leave a few comments. I'm sure it will give the class more incentive to continue working on their blogs even now that the term is ending. Thanks! :-) The classroom wiki: http://bloggingtips.wikispaces.com My girls' new weblogs: http://fereshteebrahimi.blogspot.com http://maryblessings.blogspot.com http://frnz-frnz.blogspot.com http://Aliceinwonderland2006.blogspot.com http://enchantmentofeast.blogspot.com http://tootfarangihappyday.blogspot.com http://itsyourgo.blogspot.com http://roya-redrose.blogspot.com http:/...
