Tehran Treats

This is a traditional old restaurant in the middle of Tehran in Iran. As you can see there is a group of local musicians set up to entertain the packed restaurant. I found the people of Iran to be very warm and friendly and unlike the pre-conceived perception many people have of this country.

Carpet Picture

Believe it or not this is not a painting but a framed silk carpet on display in a museum in Tehran, Iran. On display there were some incredible and intricate pictures all woven in silk.

Tehran Panorama

This was a panorama created from 8 individual images looking north over the mountains that surround Tehran in Iran.

Dinner in Tehran

This is one of the oldest and most traditional restaurants in Tehran and was packed with customers there to eat dinner, socialise and listen to the local musicians. I guess I arrived in Iran with some pre-conceived ideas about the country and the people but left with a completely different perception. I found the people very friendly, warm and with a great sense of humour and fun. They certainly enjoy an evening out and this venue certainly demonstrated that.
