I believe that the trip we took around Iran was a common itinerary for foreigners in Abadan like ourselves who had one two-week "annual leave" during which to see the rest of the country. There's probably no need to identify each photo. The itinerary and particular views are largely in this order: train to Tehran with views of Qom; Tehran railroad station, Majlis, street scenes, American embassy, bazaar, Darband, Golestan Palace, carpet cleaning at Cheshme-Ali, Rey, railroad to Babol, Babolsar, Ramsar, Rasht, bus to Tehran via Qazvin, Esfahan, Shiraz, Persepolis>>>Full text

Fascinating

Thanks for posting these terrific photographs.  One thing that I couldn't help noticing was the absence of people.  Where you alone in Iran on your vacation?  I guess that this is proof of the "half of Iranians are under the age of 30" statement.

Priceless testimony

If Only those Care Free days were back again ...

And to think that they destroyed Reza Shah's Mosauleum after the revolution:
