Elahe Moghadam's serene photographs of nature in Iran
have a most calming effect. They seem to say that despite all the political
upheavals, the breathtakingly beautiful essence that is Iran remains intact
and will live on.
The images transport us on top of majestic mountains, under a grand
old tree, in a field of wild flowers, and on the edge of turquoise blue
lakes. I wish I could say, "Beam me there, there and there, Scotty!"
