Nice photo album, Thank

Nice photo album, Thank you...

PS. To find God, man needs Consciousness, NOT religion...

Who cares about all these Middle men representing GOD? That is a very personal and internal connection between man and God/Universe...And you can do it perfectly on your own without following any religion...Just close your eyes in peace and ask yourself, who is in there?...

Those who seek and follow middle men of any type for instructions to find GOD are on the wrong path that through out the human history has shown and proven to be divisive and wrong on so many levels, time after time ...

Health, Awareness, Consciousness, Freedom, Love and Peace = GOD 

Free yourselves, Free Iran.


IranianAsylum

and 70,000,00+ are suffering

by IranianAsylum on

The suffering of Bahai's or any other group is no less and no more significant than the majority of Iranians who by the way are Moslems. This isn't about Bahai's, it is about HUMANITY & on this particular site, IRANIANS. But it looks like the 'Divine Plan of Lord Baha' has it's own brand of prejudice.

Do a lot of us a favor and keep your Divine Plan out of our way. we don't want it any more than we want any other religious BS.

Great pictures Mr Lewis. Many thanks for sharing with us.

Mona: You should not assume that ...

by reader1 on

...  the men/women behind those smiling faces are indifferent to the plight of their fellow Iranian Baha'is.
No decent Iranian should remain silent about IRI legalized injustice against the baha'is


Mona Tahiri

and baha'is are suffering

by Mona Tahiri on

We are glad to see our Moslem friends happy. Let there be a day in Iran when even the Baha'is have the same right as that of their moslem friends. The divine plan of Lord Baha is soon to come into effect in Iran.

Thank you David for this wonderful gallery.

My favorites are the pictures from Zerkanas (Religious gym), Yazd, Esfahan, Bazaars, palaces, and Persian food........it is amazing that Mao Tze-tung's photo is kept on the palace's desk! This tourist must have a great time there!

Magnificent photos, a perfect 10!

by Anonymouse on

These are truly nice and really something.  Some of these places are not as nice and goes to show how he has managed to make them look good!

This photo and this one are not really Islamic and the reason they didn't let Golshifteh Farahani ride her motorcycle anymore!  And in this one they look like Lindsey Lohan and Fish Finger?! 

Everything is sacred

Panorama

What a fantastic panorama of life in Iran. I'm sure this American tourist was pleasantly surprised how warm and friendly the people are. You see it on many of the beautiful faces he captured.
