A metalworker's shop in the bazaar, Esfahan. They forge the metal, coat and decorate it here. There was everything from tiny ornaments, to decorated plates, and cauldrons so large I could have stood inside them. The sound of pounding metal, from all the different shops, was everywhere.


Genetic experimenting gone wrong... someone selling the result at the side of the street, Shiraz.


Shoes for sale, Shiraz.


The gate to Persepolis, the ancient capital of the Persians around 500BC, not far from Shiraz. There was graffiti carved into this gateway that was 100-150 years old. It was from members of British army units, trading companies, and so on, it was really interesting.


Crumbling old pillar, Persepolis.


Griffens, Persepolis.


The remnants of the Palace of 100 Columns, Persepolis. Doesn't this picture just LOOK hot, this was a scorching day in the semi-arid desert. Me and two travel companions were almost the only people silly enough to be out there in the full heat of the mid afternoon.
