the first occasion of this delegation was to have a glance at Blue Mosque of Tabriz, registered at the tentative list of Unesco!! a short look in the eve only, but better than nothing!!!!

from there a short walk for a look at tabriz town hall, now used as the town museum, and of course the representative salons for high class guests!!!!



during another short walk in the city center we saw this cute sculpture of a typical scenery in olden times, when ppl had smth to do at the law court, they needed an amanuensis, sitten on the stairs of the court...

next day after some important meetings we went in the afternoon to kandovan, 60 km far from tab.. and had a look at the carved tuffstone cones where ppl are even nowadays still living. unfortunately they are using normal brickstones to enlarge their homes.. we can understand they need space, but it's a pity like to destroy the beautiful and interesting livingplace from ancient time..........











and here we found original shepherd-hats!!!!
