It's always been a dream of mine to be "consigned to history". What does that take exactly?

committed topicality.

So you need to live in the present to be consigned to the past?

Gogad Caravansary

This is a small section of huge place of Gogad Caravansary located in Mahallat in the province of Esfehun Nesfe Jahan.

A 'caravan' in Persian means a group of travelers or merchants banded together and organized for mutual assistance and defense while traveling through unsettled or hostile country. Caravan trade is associated with the history of Iran and the Middle East.
It is evident that all trade from one fertile area to another in this region had to be organized from the first, since long distances of desert trail separated settled parts and since local governments could not guarantee protection against tribes eager to loot and pillage. Such wares as jewels, spices, perfumes, dyes, metals, rare woods, ivory, oils, and textiles (chiefly silk) are associated with the trade. Camels were the main catties from Egypt and Iran to Mesopotamia and throughout the Arabian Peninsula. When you inquire the age of a caravansary in modern Iran, you are generally told that it dates from the time of Shah Abbas. This is a deceptive generalization and a term applied indiscriminately to all caravansaries built between the late 16th-19th centuries AD.

At present this beautiful historical place is rented to a private Iranian car company. The car company manage this place by converting it to a hotel.

Norooz 1387 - Eid-e Shoma Mubarak!

In harmony with the rebirth of nature, the Iranian New Year Celebration, or NOROOZ, always begins on the first day of spring.
Norooz ceremonies are symbolic representations of two ancient concepts - the End and the Rebirth; or Good and Evil.

The origins of Norooz are unknown, but they go back several thousand years predating the Achaemenian Dynasty.
The ancient Iranians had a festival called "Farvardgan" which lasted ten days, and took place at the end of the solar year. It appears that this was a festival of sorrow and mourning, signifying the end of life while the festival of Norooz, at the beginning of spring signified rebirth, and was a time of great joy and celebration.

I CONGRATULATE TO ALL IRANIAN PEOPLE ANYWHERE AROUND THIS MOTHER EARTH.

((Fara Residane Norooz-e Baztani Ra Be Shoma Va Khanevadeh Gerami Tabrik Gofteh Va Sali Pur As Salamati Va Shadkami Barayetan Arezoomandam.))

I HOPE IN THIS NEW YEAR [ 1387 ], YOU WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL LIFE WITH GOOD HEALTH AND LOTS OF SUCCESS.

EID-e Shoma Mubarak

============================================================================
Tonite is 28th Esfand 1386 (18th March 2008). It is ChaharShanabeh Sori, where these days, young people spent their money for exploding small firecrackers for fun!

I remember when I was younger, we had a peaceful ChaharShanabeh Sori without having fears of any casualties.

ANYHOW, I perfered to stay with my dear computer and design a Eid card for the Iranian New Year.

If you are curious to know, it took me almost 7 hours PS works with creating 27 layers!
I should mention my computer crashed down twice which I had to re-do the works again.

I was trying to capture the

messerschmitt vibe. I didn't quite manage it, but do like a bit of darkness.
