Hello Akbar,

Wonderful shot, with good composition and exposure, and accompanied by a very informative note. This is a package in the best traition of Trekearth. You must have been just a year old when the Shah abdicated, an left Iran. I remember visiting Ankara during the summer of 1967, and seeing him an the Dibi Farah in a motorcade. Warm regards, Akbar,

Bulent
