I travelled to different parts of Kavir(desert) in Iran. I saw so many Islamic Architectural geometry designs on the ceilings and facades of mosques and old buildings that made me VERY surprised. Of course I was not able to record all of these beauties with my little compact digi camera, but tried to capture these beauties with best of my photography abilities !
