benqui Posted November 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had the opportunity to visit my favorite city again! And like always it was a joy to walk through the streets, talking to the extremely friendly Iranians, having fun and admiring the wonderful palaces and mosques. All photos were taken with the Q2 Be careful when you enter the metro, the first and the last wagon is always reserved for women Welcome, dear visitor!

Not just a skater. She's also wearing a t shirt from a black metal band, by far the most extreme and disturbing fringe of heavy metal music. That makes the contrast even stronger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 5, 2021 Share #14 Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Mark, your set is fascinating but very sad. I have been in Iran too and my best friends are Iranians. These shots show why so many Iranians live away from their country. They always talk of their birth place with tears in their eyes. For them, the Islamic revolution ended their dreams and joy. Many of them, can never go back and die in foreign countries. Those women in your wonderful pictures tell us why. They can’t even choose their own dressing and should hide behind what my friends call the veil of shame. Liberties and freedom were killed for many, and this country with its wonderful people are so misunderstood and hopeless now. BTW, as you may well know, what you are calling traditional clothes are not really traditional. They became “traditional “ under the rule of Mullahs. Iranian women were among the most fashionable and modern women in the world, and they always had an important part in their society and even history. The religious fascism and superstition made of them a lesser citizens at the present. Edited November 5, 2021 by Louis 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very sad for the people, I also know some Iranians who left the country after the revolution and as you said, they really talk about their beloved country with tears in their eyes. Just compare the ancient photos from the 60ties with now. You think you are in two totally different countries. I have talked to many students and I think 80% of them want to leave the country because of the current situation. On the one hand you have many people who really do not earn a lot of money one the other hand you see huge houses (palaces) which are owned by the Mullahs who sent their kids to Europe or the US where they can live without any restrictions. It is really very sad and the more I think about this situation the angrier I become. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted November 5, 2021 Share #17 Posted November 5, 2021 Thank you for sharing these wonderful images, @benqui. So these are B&W conversions from a color Q2, is that correct? I have to wholly endorse the information and views presented above by @Louis - knowing the repression the people of Teheran - and the women in particular - are forced to live under is saddening. In spite of all our issues/problems/controversies, we who live in the west have much to be grateful for. Based on the information I have read, I am surprised that Teheran - and Iran in general - are safe for westerners to travel to. Would you kindly relate your observations and experiences on that issue? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you kindly relate your observations and experiences on that issue? Thanks a lot for your comments! Yes these are b/w conversions from a Q2 and I have to admit that although I really love my M10-D, the Q2 is the perfect travel companion. I was 4 times in Iran and I always felt very safe. I never had any problems to walk around, to talk to people or to take a photo. When I asked someone to take a photo, it was never a problem. On the contrary, it is very easy to come into contact with people. And many said to me: please tell the people in your country that we are no terrorists, that we want to live in peace like everybody. And you will never forget the incredible hospitality of these wonderful people. It was very funny I was invited for dinner at an Iranian family and they prepared so many different dishes that it was impossible for me to eat more. But the lady of the house said to me: eat, eat you have to try everything. I looked to her husband and he said to me: if you want to have an easy life, do it as I do it: just do what my wife is saying! To me as a foreigner it is very difficult to fully understand the situation of the women in Iran. The country is too different and I think there are huge differences between the live of the women in a city like Teheran and the countryside. I found that the women in Teheran were very strong, self-confident and self-determined. Especially in the north of Tehran they did not care much about the veil and in the stores or cafes they did not wear the veil. But on the other hand on the streets they have to wear it. An Iranian friend of mine was caught driving her car without a veil and she was sentenced not to use her car for one week, crazy world. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
