You can find many stores like this in north of Iran. In this store everything can be found: honey, dolls, cookies, chess, etc. This is why I call it "everything-can-be-found" store :)
Note: The location I took this photo may vary a little with the location I geo-coded it, but still in the same area. |

Tavazo-e-Bustan Nut Store is located in Bustan shopping center near Punak Square. I was walking in Bustan shopping center that I found this beautiful store. At first I thought maybe it is not a good place for a panorama because of the little space and distance from the camera, but fortunately I decided to give it a try. I love the result.
You can find many different kinds of nuts in the photo, also many chocolates, even drinks such as Rani :) Related Gigapan: Pounak Sq. ( http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=14066 ) Somehow the same: Everything-can-be-found Store! ( http://gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=9577 ) |

The Dariush Grand Hotel (Persian: هتل بزرگ داریوش) is a 168-room, $125 million, luxury five star hotel located on the eastern part of Kish Island in the Persian Gulf.
Dariush Grand Hotel was built as a look like Persepolis, a symbol of the glory and splendor of the ancient Persian (Iranian) civilization and the Persian Empire. The hotel was designed and developed by Iranian entrepreneur Hossein Sabet, who also owns and manages several tourist attractions and hotels in the Canary Islands.

The Azadi Tower (Persian: برج آزادی, Borj-e Azadi meaning in English: Freedom Tower) (previously known as the Shahyād Āryāmehr Persian: شهیاد آریامهر, English: King Memorial Tower) is the symbol of Tehran, Iran, and marks the entrance to the city.
Built in 1971 in commemoration of the 2,500th anniversary of the Persian Empire, this "Gateway into Iran" was named the Shahyad Tower (meaning "Remembrance of the Shahs (Kings)") but dubbed Azadi (Freedom) after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. It is the symbol of the country's revival, and intended to remind coming generations of the achievements of modern Iran under the Pahlavi Dynasty. It is 50 metres (148 feet) tall and is completely clad in cut marble. The architect, Hossein Amanat, won a competition to design the monument. Ironically, he practices a religion — the Bahá'í Faith — that is persecuted by the current government. Azadi Tower combines Sassanid and Islamic architecture styles. Amanat also integrated a degree of Baha'i symbology in the design, such as having exactly nine stripes on each side, and exactly nine windows either of the long sides of the building. It is part of the Azadi cultural complex, located in Tehran's Azadi square in an area of some 50,000 m². There is a museum and several fountains underneath the tower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azadi_square ________________________________________________________________________________ Two related gigapans: 1.

I took this panorama while it was snowing. It was a real challenge, but with help of my brother (Parham) and my cousins (Pezhman and Bayan) ((by holding my cap over the camera! Not to get wet)) I finally did it. The result is not bad. The interesting story is that it was 11th of Farvardin (the first month of Persian calendar) and it was snowing while there was only one real snow in Tehran during the last winter.
