Eid Mubarak from Iran
As those of you living in these parts of the world (the Middle East that is!) know, over the last couple of days the Muslims have been celebrating Eid al-Adha. It’s a very important religious holiday and this year I was lucky enough to be in Esfahan (or Isfahan) in Iran witnessing the local traditions (of which I will talk about during later posts).
I returned today with lots of new images, but this is more of a quick post to wish a belated Eid Mubarak to all the Muslim readers of the blog and to share with you a late evening image of the beautiful Imam Mosque in the center of Esfahan. Unfortunately the mosque was under restoration so there is quite a bit of scaffolding visible. However, this didn’t make the structure any less imposing, dominating Esfahan’s main square.
