 Taq-i-Bustan in Kermanshah, Iran. The stone relief shows the Sassanian king killing wild boars that have been driven into an enclosure, a paradeiza. The word was borrowed by the Jews and the Greeks and eventually, in English, became 'paradise' - the epitome of endless bounty. |
 Tiles at Soltaniyeh, northern Iran. This magnificent tomb for one of the early Mongol rulers was built in 1315 and is one Islam's great buildings. |
 A youth and his parents in the Elburz mountains, Iran. The image says everything about how the remotest villages are changing. |
 A view across the old city in Jerusalem towards the Dome of the Rock. |
 Campfire in a shepherd's hut in the Elburz mountains. I spent an uncomfortable night here before rising at four a.m. to walk across the ridge to Alamut castle. |
