These guys actually really were under the bridge (previous picture was more like over the bridge…)

And sorry for this long time without post, but we’re now back to normal posting frequency!

Part of Isfahan’s unique atmosphere comes from the Zayandeh River, traversing the city from west to east. The bridges over the river include some of the nicest architecture in Isfahan. The oldest bridge is the “Pol-e Shahrestan,” which was probably built in the 12th century.

During the Achura celebration we went to the city’s cemetery where martyrs of the war against Iraq are buried, and witnessed many gathering to pay respect to their lost family or friends, burning candles or bringing flowers.

Hey, interesting photo. It is a bit dark on the bottom of the image. Though considering the tough light conditions i think it is well executed. The location of the subject makes it even more cool! Well done.
