Persian splendour
Some exquisite images from the book Palaces and Cardens of Persia by Yves Porter and Arthur Thevenart.
A niche in a house iun Kashan, filled with pieces of coloured mirror glass.
The Mausoleum of Aqa Baba Khan. The walls sparkle with mirror glass mosaic which has recently been restored to its full beauty.
A dovecote in the Isfahan region, like a piece of honeycomb left in the sun...
The breathtaking wonder of this journey continues...

Wow! These are amazing photos. Talk about exotic splendor.
I too have been scouring the libraries and finding the most amazing things Gail. Today I sat rummaging through piles of old National Geographics in a Charity Store.
Really, the richness of the designs are quite extraordinay.
These pics are just beyond words. Magical and full of wonder.
