Persepols VI, a photo from Fars, East

Photographer's Note

The engraving on the left wall of "All Nations Gateway", through which all the nobles & groups passed to enter the complex & be present at the New Year ( Spring ) Ceremonies.
It has the body of lion, wings of eagle, face of a Persian Soldier. ( the face is ruined now).

P.S. :about the colors : these are the real colors of persepolis' stones, the ochr colors are the result of diffrent film-developing.

Hello Fariba,
What an angle for this one, it seems that this horse was fossilized.
It is the body of the horse we saw last picture ?
The stylism is both realistic (the legs) and imaged (the little stone points which makes a stange shadow).

Bravo, et merci pour votre passion (partagйe) de l'histoire et de l'architecture.

Yes Fariba - I would say, this must to be a bulls tail - so your right. A very nice old statue indeed - thanks for sharing.

Nice one. I like the angle you chose to take the picture from. Persepolis looks like a very nice historic place to visit.

These are fantastic places, but I am afraid I can never see them. Can women travel alone in your country?

Beautiful picture, Iran really looks like an interesting place. Great composition here and good colours!

Great perspective, but this has a blue magenta color cast, which can be corrected in APS. Looks like lousy film processing & not your fault. I may try a ws later.
