Some Pictures from Tehran's Sky

My city is beautiful
when it blows
when it rains
when it snows and the schools are closed.

My city is beautiful
when the sun shines
or the moon is in the sky
when the air is full with the fresh smell of the roses
and when your eyes can be filled with the view of snow covered mountains.

My city is beautiful
when the pockets of its people are full
when their eyes are shining
and when their hearts are filled with love and hope

My city is beautiful
when the fathers are not ashame of their families
when the great ones are not kept in preason
and when lovers are free to walk and dance in its streets.
