Pictures of my Iran trip, part 6 *PIC HEAVY*

[MissHoneychurch]

All previous pictures can be seen in my Journal http://journals.democraticunderground.com/MissHoneychurch


We also visited Pasargadae, the grave of Cyrus the Great http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasargadae. We wanted to have lunch next to it at the recreation area but when we arrived, a storm came up. It was a rain and a sand storm. It was over within half an hour. And it sure made for some interesting pictures. Near by the grave are some ruins of the palace and the citadel.

1. Wow, very nice pics in your journal, Miss Honeychurch.

I am so envious. :)

Persepolis!

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Thanks Hissyspit

it was a great experience. And Persepolis .... I am so happy I was able to see it. It was a highlight during a trip of highlights.

3. Those are excellent pictures

I particularly like the one of the palace with the flowers in the foreground.

I looked at your post in the index and thought you were making a rare Sunday post. It took me a few minutes to realize that it was indeed Monday. This weekend went by fast, but I still have tonight off.

[MissHoneychurch]

4. Thanks Tobin

I like that pic too ... but then I like all the pictures I post, otherwise I wouldn't post them :)

Yeah, it is Monday here already and I am slaving away at work ... more or less :P

6. Have you ever been to northern Nevada here in the states?

These pictures and some others you have posted really remind me of that state.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. No, I've never been there

there are still some places in the U.S. I would love to see.

8. These look remarkably similar to the country, Iran. It's in the Middle East.

I'm kicking your thread in the silliest way I can imagine.

:hi:

:silly:

How fun to have gone there!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

13. Thanks for the kick

:D

Our driver wrote us a very sweet email afterwards:

Hallooooooo

I truly in my few years of experience, personality and cheerful family like you
had never seen.

I hope the services we provide to you have been happy.

Please provide pictures that you send us.

God honor and glory to you ever wish.

Hope to meet again,

Loving you
Mehdi.

9. I'm so jealous!

Thank you sharing your trip with us!!!

[MissHoneychurch]

14. I truly wish

that in the future the relations between the U.S. and Iran are so good again that you are able to visit that country.

10. the grave pictures..

the way it looks foggy around them, it makes the rocks look soft lol it's pretty!

These are great, TY!!

[MissHoneychurch]

15. Thanks stuntcat

the sand storm was no fun for us (try to keep your scarf up while the wind is blowing like crazy, at the same time taking pictures) it gave me the opportunity to take interesting pictures.

11. thank you for some personal awesomeness. nt

[MissHoneychurch]

[blaze]

12. Wow!!!

I went back and looked at all the pics you posted... and I think my favorites are from the market places.

Thanks for sharing your trip!! :)

[MissHoneychurch]

17. The bazars were fun

the smell, the sound ... it was almost overwhelming in a positive way.

[Blue_Tires]

18. those storm photos look like a very bad omen

you should submit those to the contest...

[MissHoneychurch]

19. When we had the "Storm" contest

I didn't had those pictures yet. But you can be sure when there is a fitting theme I will submit one :)

[Blue_Tires]

20. so what did you enjoy best out of all the places you saw?

[MissHoneychurch]

21. That is easy

Persepolis and Isfahan. And the spices at the bazars :)

[MissHoneychurch]

30. ROFL

[cwydro]

32. Well for sure he would have to have one if he were not a he!

That would have been even funnier!

[Brewman_Jax]

25. G'day, MissH!

:hi: :hug:

More pics! :woohoo:

Those are beautiful! I'll have to see the rest in the journal. My home computer died over the weekend and I'll need my brother's help to diagnose it and to see what to do next. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

27. Good morning Brewman

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

How was your long weekend? Beside that your computer died, which sucks.

[Brewman_Jax]

28. 3 days of renfest

:woohoo: maybe I should say

The forecast was for scattered showers all weekend and into the week. Saying rain, rather, the 4-letter word that starts with the letter R, tends to attract fewer people. The diehard fans will be present rain or shine. The rain fell overnight and early morning, and cloudy for the early part of the day. I had a great time! :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]

31. Oh cool

glad you had a great time.

I take Friday off, Thursday is a holiday here, I don't have to work Saturday at the groceries store ... 4-days-weekend :woohoo:

[Brewman_Jax]

33. Three cheers for a long weekend

:woohoo:

Next week is the final weekend. Friends and fellow rennies have been posting pics to the Book of Faces (Facebook to everyone else. :P) and the albums are very large and colorful.

[MissHoneychurch]

34. It is almost over again

:wow:

So the next task is to find a soccer team again?
