PESO:

This is one of my favorites:

Mohammed accompanied his father to the Jameh Mosque for noon prayers.  He
doesn't quite have it down yet since you are supposed to put your forehead
on the stone, not kiss it!

And the previous 26 are of Jameh Mosque, the main mosque of Isfahan, which
was extensively damaged during the Iran-Iraq War is undergoing painstaking
restorations.  Prayers are held outside in the courtyard.  Most photos are
with the SL, some with the Monochrom.

About the woman with the eyebrows - many Iranian women shave their eyebrows
off and draw them back on.  I have no idea why!!

C&C greatly appreciated.

Tina
