These amazing windmills are among the oldest in the world. Located in the Iranian town of Nashtifan, initially named Nish Toofan, or “storm’s sting,” the windmills have withstood winds of up to 74 miles an hour. With the design thought to have been created in eastern Persia between 500-900 A.D., they have been in use for several centuries.

The future i imagine, we need to think about building infrastructure that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, 1000 years a millennium.

ترانه ای که نخواهم سرود من هرگز

Lyrics : Federico Garcia Lorca - Translated : Ahmad Shamlou

When Persians (Iranians) gather together certain things are somewhat inevitable: poetry & the reciting thereof; paikoobi & gher dadan; and of course: FOOD! Glorious food. For our company holiday party, there were 3 (3!) tables heaped with an eclectic and jaw droppingly seductive array of food. A feast made entirely in-house. 👏👏👏 I closed my eyes eating a few of the offerings! I’ll think about a few for a few days! 😆 Jatoon khalli!!!!!
