The Ceiling

The Ceiling

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 ! For those people who have not been in Iran and would like to learn more about the Islamic Architectural geometry, I managed to get the following sites from Yahoo search: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7544360 http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSN2245118920070222?pageNumber=2 http://www.rferl.org/featuresarticle/2007/02/027d03ee-3fee-47e0-a65b-7cc9b2ad54e7.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_architecture
