Where are the sculptures?

2010-05-03T00:23:00.000-07:00

Some years ago, Azerbaijani artists made statues of a number of Azerbaijani historical illustrious and heroes and dedicated them to Tehran municipality to put them in different areas of Tehran which is a residence place for millions of Azeri Turks. Sattarkhan, Baghirkhan (Constitution activists) and Shahriar's (Poet) bronze statues installed in Sattarkhan Park, Shahrara Park and Theatershahr.

I was eager to see them but there was not chance for visiting until last week I read in some websites that Shahriar's statue has been vanished! And one day later, another surprising news published: "Sattarkhan and Baghirkhans statues disappeared too"!
After missing them, further bronze statues were stolen; but there is a question for me:
"Why have vandal rubbers lifted Azerbaijani statues in first phase?"

Yesterday I succeeded to sea only empty place of my favorite famous persons' statues! I wish I took images from statues:

Empty places of Statues - Səttarxan və Bağırxanın heykəllərinin boş yerləri

Most Viewed Scene in Paris

2009-10-08T00:34:00.000-07:00

I could not refrain from taking photo at this prospect. I thought that they will be discontented if they realize my shooting picture; but they were not in this world!

Malmö (1)

Today, I took some photos from old building of Malmö municipality and its square.

I, with shaved face and without glasses, 58% look-aliked to James Brolin, and, bearded and with glasses, 62% look-liked to John Bonham!
That's interesting; Names of Ours three begins with 'J'! My main name is Jalal.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-24T03:19:00.000-08:00

This interesting image that my sister has taken from a group of singing Swedish youth in Helsingborg, is one of reasons for me to say to all:

GOD JUL (MERRY CHRISTMAS in Swedish)

Full of Holes

2008-12-24T02:51:00.000-08:00

I had seen some pictures from Siberia like this Brazilian mineral hole before. Human being is compelled to use natural resources; but unfortunately the planet is being more porous!

The photograph has been taken from Mineração Sta Rita by my Brazilian virtual friend , Antonio, in Orkut.com.

symbiotic

Symbiosis between the sunflower and the tree in autumn via human being intervention

The Crow

2008-09-27T01:29:00.000-07:00

The crows are cheeky, especially crows of Tehran!

Eyes Wide Shut

2008-09-25T06:48:00.001-07:00

This is an ideal method for the both of librarianship and authorship in Iran!

The Unavoidable Darkness

2008-07-23T04:20:00.000-07:00

This brightened image was very darker than you see now. That is from last night, not from last centuries; because my cousin and his cell phone camera are not contemporary with Ghajar Dynasty! We have been groped between bad consuming of people and bad plannings of power administration and government. There are same scheduled darkness’s all over of Iran.

The Nest

2008-05-09T12:28:00.002-07:00

Recently I cannot open the window, because a pigeon (or a kind of bird like pigeon, named Yakarim in Persian) has nestled at the margin of that, and she lies over her two eggs (another egg has been just added newly).
I am not eager to disturb my new neighbor!

Earth Day

2008-04-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

It is Earth Day. This is the merged image of my brother's acrobatic moving on the prairie, in April 1st that is new solar year's 13th day (13 Bedar, Onuchunju Gun or the Nature Day).

The Sparrow and Cherry Blooms

2008-04-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

There is a sparrow between cherry blooms. I wanted to take a photo from it; afterward, It was hard to find the bird; is it visible for you?!

The Land of Fire

2008-03-21T11:09:00.000-07:00

The last 3 Wednesdays’ evenings of solar year is called “Od Günü Axşamı” or “Çərşəmbə Axşamı” in Turkish, and “Chaharshanbeh Souri” in Persian. Folkloric ceremonies of these days recently have been replaced by too dangerous fireworks (Or street cracking) in Tehran! That was not endurable for me! Indeed, I escaped from Tehran this week. Old traditions as jumping over the fire are already being saved in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan’s other name is “Odlar Yurdu” means “The Land of Fire”.

Happy new year, happy ‘Novrouz’ holidays, happy ‘Argana Gun Bayramı’.

The Bank Counter

2008-03-17T02:51:00.000-07:00

It is 3 days to New Year and Iranian banks are too busier than markets. This counter is especially for women, but men have occupied it absolutely! Of course, there are not any women in the bank, and then the men are innocent.

The Long Sleeve T-Shirt!!

2008-03-16T04:47:00.000-07:00

It is 3 days to upcoming spring and Solar Hijri New Year (1387). Tehran clothing markets are very busy. I saw these shirts yesterday. ‘T-shirt’ is an imported word from English, in Persian, but there has been written a label in Persian, meaning ‘Long sleeve T-shirts’!!

Oh! That is not funny completely! Because of exception in Wikipedia:
T-shirt is a shirt, with … mostly (but not necessarily) short sleeves….

Scrupulous or Skimmer

2008-02-09T02:50:00.001-08:00

Reading per capita average of Iranian society is very low. People don’t have enough time to study! But this old man is different! he is too scrupulous or just a skimmer:

The Almond Blooms Park

2008-01-02T03:41:00.000-08:00

The municipality of Kivi town (North Western of Iran, Azerbaijan/Ardabil Province) changed one of part of old ‘KhanliqBaghi’ (Khanate Garden in Turkic) to a modern park! Furthermore, it was renamed to ‘The Almond Blooms Park’.
After sum years you can see one of almond trees in this park:

Special Thanks to Mehdi for sending this image.
Happy New Year to all tree and nature lovers.

The Queue

2007-12-22T06:19:00.000-08:00

This is the shadow of best ordered Barbary (a kind of bread) queue that I see and have been one of its members!
The majority of Iranian people must stay in a queue everyday: the Bank queue, the bus or taxi station queue and …; but there is an exception: 'The promotion usually does not have good queue'!

The Snowy Trees - 3

2007-12-05T02:27:00.000-08:00

And snowfall continues, so my snowy trees chain probably will be longer; because my cousin (Mehdi) sends some his fascinating snapshots from my motherland.

Special thanks to Mehdi
