having my visas for iran, syria & jordan arranged in new delhi, the iranian visa allowed me two weeks to transit the country. crossing the deserted borderpoint taftan/mirjaweh the infrastructure improved quite a bit. visiting some ancient places near shiraz and the city of esfahán i arrived an early morning in tehran. the first sunbeams where touching the peaks of mt. elbruz. one of the moments that can be difficult to capture with a camera. big cities is not my thing, so i got a long-distance coach for syria.
