Beautiful post. How are you? I have not been able to come to New York because my husband has been very ill most of the year.

Rosa, you have been on my mind. I’m so happy to hear from you! I’ll take this to email. xox azita
Wow, spectacular photo’s, Iran is so beautiful and rich in culture. Very nice!
thank you! the pangs I feel when blogging about it makes me determined that I’m long due for a visit back to the ol’ homeland
Beautiful! Haha, I was just about to complement your stunning photography skills until I saw the disclaimer. Still, thanks for putting the collection together to share with us. I think the saffron one is my favorite. The angle, the vibrancy of the color and focus are amazing.
It is a gorgeous photo (I’d never seen saffron flowers before, they’re so pretty!) and the photo’s all over the Internet – and I’m sorry that I have no idea whose work it is! Whoever took it, as we say in Farsi: “damesh garm!)
Beautiful artistic photos. They inspire awe. I can feel your pride, and longing at your home. I hope you go home to visit often. Thank you.
dear Tina, thank you for your sweet and thoughtful comment. Really appreciate it. Can’t take credit for the beautiful pix but can definitely agree that they are truly beautiful. I don’t want to jinx it, but I do intend to go for a visit sometime soon. I’m just entirely too homesick, and it’s been way too long, and there’s no other way around it. Thank you for your well wishes, hope it comes true.
Lovely photos 🙂
thank you for visiting Lily!
Beautiful, Azita! I had no idea the entire flowers were harvested for saffron. I thought only the pistils or stamens were picked. It’s true what they say, you learn something new everyday. 🙂
No you were right to begin with, I think this pic just shows how they have to pick the flowers in order do harvest the … pistils and stamens … those sound about right, I’ll take your word for it : )
Dear Azita, wanted to thank you for posting those wonderful pictures.
I have never been to Iran, who knows maybe one day…
I wish you a nice and relaxing weekend (or still taken with schedules and deadlines?)
Bisous

Dear Lou,let’s put it this way: it’s a holiday weekend but I’m behind a computer working on a design assignment! But no complaints, I love this work. AND, ate some delicious Persian rice last night with some of my favorite people, so all’s good. 🙂 Je t’en pris re the photos and je t’envois des bious aussi & forgive the rusty francaise xo Azita
A lovely post I am sure makes you homesick. Every photographs you chose is so gorgeous and really makes me realize how wonderful Iran truly is with culture and beauty. I love the carpet weaver! I own one (small) persian carpet and I sit and stare at it’s beauty, studying the imperfect pattern, which is stunningly beautiful.
