IRAN - Shiraz & Esfahan in 5 days

Probably among the most awe inspring, vibrant and quirky countries I’ve visited to date - IRAN. In a team of Japanese women, we agreed on an intinerary to visit Isfahan and Shiraz in the 5 days we had availabe to us.

I cannot remember all the places we visited, but here are a few and highly recommended:

• Persepolis, Shiraz

• Nasir ol Molk Mosque (Pink Mosque), Shiraz

• Hamze Shrine, Shiraz

• Isfahan Bazaar

• Foruzan Carpets, Isfahan

• Abbasi Hotel, Isfahan

• Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, Isfahan

• Vank Cathedral (Armenian Church), Isfahan

P E O P L E are incredibly powerful sources of energy, but are also vulnerable to their own and others. Therefore it only makes sense to surround yourself with the right ones. #epiphany #life #energy #mentality #thoughts #travelphotography #Iran #Esfahan #BoaCampbell #shotByBoa @boacampbell #travelingphotographer #Persia #Persian #Bazaar #travelportrait #portrait #people #human #culture #streetphotography #schooloflife #photographer #nomad #inspiration #motivational #onlyliveonce
