We have quite a few Persian immigrants & former refugees of Iran who live in Victoria, BC. One of my good friends, fellow photog, is a Persian immigrant.
There's a lot more to #Iran than just ongoing political strifes, desert lands & religious power conflicts. It's a mostly misunderstood & relatively unknown place to most people from Western worlds. #Persians have a very deep, culturally rich & long history there. Their peoples are highly resilient, creative masters, well educated & quite inventive. Iran is the birthplace of #algebra. It's culturally rich with many beautifully decorated architectural structures all over the country.
Iran also has one of the last broadleaf #AncientForests in the world. It has multiple contrasts in climate - which is why you can experience extreme heat to cold, snow covered mountains, in a day of travel. It has some of the most stunning & interesting landscapes on Earth. It's the 17th largest, sovereign nation in the world. Iran has survived multiple foreign invasion attacks in their past & are very experienced with fighting to protect their homelands.
