Nice view Farshid,
I'm always impressed by the ruins found in Iran, great empires and remains that are in good condition (especially the engraving on the walls).

Btw, where is the girl?

I think this is excellent.
The inclusion of the girl climbing the stairs is important in emphasising the massive scale of the ruins, and I especially like how she almost looks like one of the figures carved in relief on the wall.
Good work.
