Amazing Slides of Iran
With all of the spin in the mainstream media about Iran, it can become so easy to buy into the demonization of the entire country. A colleague forwarded me a link to Jadid Online. It has some amazing slide shows of life in Iran and it covers a wide range of issues from the Iranian perspective. My favorite so far is "The Heart and Soul of Isfahan." These slide shows really put a human face on what we, by and large, do not see here in the mainstream media - a complex and nuanced picture of a 7,000-year civilization.

Thanks for the link. Yes, these images are amazing. I visited Tehran in 1975, so you can imagine how much has changed since then. Sometimes I can't believe my own eyes when I see pics and videos of modern Tehran.
