I am staying just off Sheykh Hadi St.  It is an old neighborhood in downtown Tehran.  Seems like a 'mohalla' with a good atmosphere.  the shop fronts are all very different and I want to stitch them together and make a 'portrait' of these shops, 


Kowzkhaneh - a place with cool weather
Visited the Golestan Palace with my host to see the photographic archives of the Qajar Kings. The images of the early travels of the Qajar dynasty kings visiting Europe in 1900 onward are very symbolic. like the first meeting of two worlds. the mirror work in the Palace is incredible. 
Bought a current map of Tehran (something I have not been able to find for Karachi) and an old map of the walled city of Tehran.
