The bizarre planes and niches create an acoustic environment that enhances the sound of intimate Persian ballads, infusing them with a warm and sublime reverberation. In later years, women were no longer allowed in the room because of the male musicians. But due to the acoustic design of the palace, the wives and concubines could still enjoy the music carried through the many palace chambers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5957d2b5893fc0b23653aeec/1590391292070/15068748.jpg Iran - Lake Urmia – Tabriz Vacationers from nearby Tabriz used to pack Lake Urmia's banks. Once the tourists stopped coming, operators had no choice but to pack up and leave. Various artefacts and decaying foodstands now dot its banks, a haunting reminder of days gone by. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5b95415d4ae2373f8cc0cc63/1536508315358/15067017-IridientEdit.jpg Iran - Teenage Shopkeeper – Naqsh e Jahan Square, Esfahan https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/595721669f74560138e4aef5/1501546686639/15067055.jpg Iran - Teenage Shopkeeper – Naqsh e Jahan Square, Esfahan https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/59761c523e00be4843f68f69/1590391292094/15068914-Pano.jpg Iran - Lake Urmia – Tabriz Previously one of the largest salt water lakes in the Middle East, Lake Urmia is drying up. Experts claim that poor agricultural planning, as well as short sighted dam construction efforts around the region are to blame. The pristine blue waters in many an Iranian vacation photo have in recent years turned blood red. Pictured here is a tiny islet of crystallised salt in a bed of shallow water, salt-loving bacteria and algae give the lake its current colour. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5957df86b8a79b04a6f61666/1590391292079/1506723323.jpg Iran - Farhad Asgari - Tabriz Farhad Asgari, right back of Tabriz's state football club and Tabriz city's most handsome taxi driver. We spent around 10 hours together that day. Even though we couldn't speak the same language, we somehow managed to hit it off. When it came time to part ways, he refused to take our money. It was exasperating. After a lot of evading, he finally said to us: "Friend no take money from friend." Farhad drove over 700 kilometres that day.   https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/597efde8e45a7c9f618897f7/1590391292293/15067003.jpg Iran - Chinese tourists at the hall of a hundred columns - Persepolis The hall of a hundred columns was constructed sometime in the 5th century BC by the Achaemenid king Xerxes. Archeological evidence points to the building being used to receive diplomats and foreign guests. More than two thousand years later, it continues to do the same. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/597efeb6414fb54a4c60308d/1590391292293/15067056.jpg Iran - Advertisement, Taleqani Street, Shiraz Advertisers, in search of a visual shorthand to localise international brands, like to reach for images of Persepolis.

For weeks they would cross highways, mountains and rivers, covering many hundred kilometres on foot, only to do it all again at the turn of the season. Keeping swarms of livestock hydrated throughout the journey is no easy task. Even though knowledge of available water sources has been passed down for generations, it doesn't apply anymore - the old rivers and creeks are drying up due to climate change and urbanisation efforts. The modern Qashqai needs to find his own way home. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5cb9e08742ffca0001ad743a/1590391292294/15068054-Enhanced-Edit.jpg Iran - Newborn lamb - Shiraz A few dozen metres from the Ardekan- Shiraz Expressway, a mother sheep gives birth. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5cb9f33b9140b7cdef31a6c8/1590391292295/15067359-Enhanced+copy2.jpg Iran - The Mardanloos - Zagros mountains From Qashqai shepard boy to one of Shiraz's most successful travel guides, Bahman Mardanloo (pictured far right) has come a long way. At 12 he was sent away to the city to study and was the first of the 3 Mardanloo children to leave their nomadic family home in the Zagros. He visits home often, bringing back much needed news and entertainment from the city in the form of videos and jokes that he packs into his Sony Xperia. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5b9545a9cd83660363dfebaa/1590391292741/15067230-IridientEdit.jpg Iran - Ali (1/2) - Zagros mountains, Iran As we were walking down the mountain behind the Mardanloo family's new campsite, Ali calls out to Bahman from the distance. Leaving his goats behind, he scampers up the steep hill to greet him. After a quick exchange, Bahman whipped out his Sony Xperia and started reading paragraph after paragraph off of his phone - this got Ali rolling in fits of laughter. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5b9545a9032be4f0cd35813f/1590391292526/15067233-IridientEdit.jpg Iran - Ali (2/2) - Zagros mountains, Iran As we said goodbye to Ali we asked Bahman what that was all about. "I tell him joke." Seeing the confusion on our faces he continued to explain ,"Nomad people don't have Internet, or television or radio.

In the morning an elderly woman spotted through a hole in her kitchen roof and through Bahman, asked us which village we were from. "Singapore!" We said. To which she replied, "I've never heard of that village, is it very far from here?" The elderly gentleman pictured here had been waiting hours by the main village road, hoping to hitch a ride to Shiraz. "My wife is dead and I live alone here. Sometimes my son invites me to the city to visit him." https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5958f9fce6f2e180dc79613e/1590391292584/15069176.jpg Iran - A family watching an Ashura procession - Hengam Street, Tehran Ashura commemorates the gruesome death and martyrdom of Hossein bin Ali, a descendant of the prophet Mohamed. Unlike the bloody displays that are shown in western media, the Ashura we experienced was a family affair. It was a time for charity work and family gatherings. In the day, families visit and watch the processions together and kids get to stay up for as long as they can. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/5955ece5ebbd1a5a508ab4b8/1498803644249/15067233.jpg Iran - Ali - Zagros mountains, Iran As we were walking down the mountain behind the Mandaloo family's new campsite, Ali calls out to Bahman from the distance.

Not wanting to propagate the image of the fanatical Shia Muslim, some communities opt to conduct blood drives instead. In Iran, the majority use a light weight bundle of chains instead of the knives and whips of old.

Recognised as one of the four Abrahamic faiths (Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam) they are entitled to special representation in the Iranian Parliament which is predominently Shia' Muslim. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/595635266a4963536f76a195/1590391293161/15066804-Pano.jpg Iran - Tower of Silence Historically, the towers are usually built on top of hills, far away from populated areas. But as the city of Yazd expanded over the centuries, it has come to envelop these two towers. In modern times, Zoroastrians have stopped the practice of air burials, opting to cremate their dead instead. When I asked our guide Moshtaba why this is so, he said (in his typical deadpan fashion), "There were no more birds." https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/59776e37e58c626d8560faaf/1590391293450/IMG_8869.jpg Iran - A Modern Family - Esfahan Hengameh (out of frame on the left) like many young Iranians, dreams of one day migrating to Canada. Being born into a Muslim family, her relationship with Mashhad, a Zoroastrian, has caused a rift between her and her parents. As a couple, they rebel against almost every Iranian social convention out there: a mixed couple, living together out of wedlock with a pet dog in tow. Hengameh explains, "Anytime they want, the police can take Momo and kill her on the road and we cannot do anything about it." Strict as the law may be, there are still many dog owners in north Tehran. A black market for dog food and toys supply couples like Hengameh and Mashhad with what they need to keep Momo happy and comfortable. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/59776fadf7e0ab4657955550/1590391293180/IMG_9824.jpg Iran - Canadian TV - Farmanieh Avenue, Tehran Many middle-class Tehranis dream of someday migrating to Canada. An Iranian TV station in Canada creates content specifically for viewers back in Iran, whose only way of accessing it is via a black market set top box. The reality TV show pictured here shows the reactions of everyday Canadian-Iranian families as they watch state-controlled TV programs from back home. I asked Hengameh, "Wait, so you buy an illegal box, to watch Iranians in Canada watch shows in Iran." She laughs and says,"I know, crazy right? It's super popular here!" https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad75e6f2e181ffc70bb4/597d9ac42e69cfc3217ee459/1590391293218/15069303.jpg Iran - Singing motorist and his pillion - Tehran https://www.nigelheng.com/ethiopia daily 0.75 2020-12-06 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/t/5fccc7712bc7884852b268b3/1536593724120/ Ethiopia - The Boys - Afar region Putting big city fashionistas to shame - A pair of well dressed Afar youths looking cool by the main road of a highway village. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad9517bffcb289880cfd/5b9685f40ebbe8f03f5e548c/1536593724120/15060884.jpg Ethiopia - The Boys - Afar region Putting big city fashionistas to shame - A pair of well dressed Afar youths looking cool by the main road of a highway village. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad9517bffcb289880cfd/5953ae004c8b0374ebdd578c/1498656448670/Untitled-1.jpg Ethiopia - Boy's from Afar Putting big city fashionistas to shame - A pair of well dressed Afar youths looking cool by the main road of a highway village.

I cannot do it. Honestly, if you ask me, I'd rather die." I was surprised - Yohannes was a tough-looking guy. When I pointed out that he definitely looked stronger and sturdier than any of the Afar or Tigray miners working the salt, he explained to us that it's not the body but the mind. "These men have been doing this for over 2500 years." "First the Tigray workers will ram the poles into the salt and use their body weight to pry it out of the ground. Then, the Afar workers will cut the larger pieces into the tiles. They will then walk with their camels for 7 days to Mekele where each tile will sell for about 14 Bir (70 cents) and they will do this all their lives." At the salt plains there was no shelter or water to drink. With the sun raging down, I couldn't stand being out there for a mere 20 minutes, let alone my entire life. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad9517bffcb289880cfd/5955d8a59de4bb913e397d42/1607255920471/15060300-2.jpg Ethiopia - Salt Miners - Lake Assale, Danakil In Danakil, there is no water or shelter and daytime temperatures can soar to over 50 degrees celcius. Trading is done in Mekele (a 7 day walk away) where the tiles fetch around 14 Bir (70 cents) a piece. Rumour has it that a private mining company has shown interest in setting up a plant to mine and process the 800 metre deep salt lake. A tricky situation as no one, not even the government can lay claim to the lake other than the Afar and Tigray miners. "I hope they don't try". Yohannes said as we made our way back to the air-conditioned comfort of our land cruisers. "Because people are going to die, and I don't mean the miners." https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad9517bffcb289880cfd/595530fd72af657f33d18c7b/1607255920492/15067220-Pano.jpg Ethiopia - Mountain Village – Simien Mountains, Gondar Many farmers lost their homes when the Simien mountains were declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1978. These families used to live side by side with some of the world's most endangered animals. Although significant resources have been poured into relocation efforts, many still prefer their lives up in the misty highlands. These days only a few small communities remain living within the reserve.

He kept checking his phone, waiting for cell reception to kick in. When he finally got through, he spoke quickly and in whispers, trying his best to not draw attention to himself. When he hopped off, I asked our guide what the boy had said on the phone. "I'm coming home for dinner."

In place of rocks, there were bright red hills of iron oxide, instead of water, you have pools of bright green neon. Entering it feels like stepping onto an alien planet - salt crystals in the shape of large tree stumps, clusters of yellow sulphur geysers spluttering smoke and acid everywhere. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5953ac732994ca9df8dcb17d/5953ad9517bffcb289880cfd/59554021e58c6230f6735cf8/1607255921266/15069841.jpg Ethiopia - Saint George and the Dragon – Church of Saint George, Lalibela Over the centuries, the church has amassed a significant collection of art work - offerings from pilgrims far and wide.

For reasons still unclear, instead of building churches from the ground up, Lalibela decided to chisel these monolithic churches right into the solid granite ground.
