Visting Isfahan- II



Just in the middle of a park I saw this beautiful place for praying the god- Namaaz. A young man is doing Rokoo'. I'm not religious at all, but I liked the place and the atmosphere.

Playing chess was forbidden in Iran. I don't know why and how it was like this. Khomeini was the one who dared to make a 'fatwa' and ok it. This is a park in Isfahan and the chess corner of it. These two men were of the groups playing there.

Statues are forbidden to make in Islam. The same goes for sculptures, but not that restraint. Isfahan is of the cities daring to shake this law. Here is an work of art of our prominent sculptor- Parviz Tanavoli, standing in front of municipality building.
A Baluch kid in Naqshe Jahan square. When I asked his parents whether they mind if I shoot, they smiled and said :" Of course not!". The kid couldn't understand what was going on.
