While waiting for my batteries shipment, let me share with you the beauty of Iran :
The Nasīr al-Mulk Mosque (Persian: مسجد نصیر الملك - Masjed-e Naseer ol Molk, Azerbaijani: Nəsirül-mülk məscidi) is a traditional mosque in Shiraz, Iran, located in Goade-e-Araban place (near the famous Shah Cheragh mosque). The mosque was built during the Qājār era, and is still in use under protection by Nasir al Mulk’s Endowment Foundation. It was built by the order of Mirza Hasan Ali Nasir al Molk, one of the lords of the Qajar Dynasty, in 1876 and was finished in 1888. The designers were Muhammad Hasan-e-Memar and Muhammad Reza Kashi Paz-e-Shirazi.
My mother was born in Tehran, but they moved to NYC when she was ~6. I have been hoping to visit Iran for the past two decades, but every time US/Iranian relations seem to be improving, a GOP president gets elected and screws things up, which strengthens hardliners in Iran, and then it’s another decade or more before their are signs of hope again.
Hey, kewl! Fascinating videos, too. The mosque just blew me away, so ornate… I can’t even imagine the level of detail that went into building it, every tile, etc., being put into place.
Enjoy your stay here :partying_face:
Nice videos, thanks!
