A Sip of IRAN (A Small Mosque in Baraghan, Alborz Province - Part I)

hgn66 (45)in #photography • 5 years ago (edited)

Baraghan is a small village in Alborz Province. It is located at the north of Karaj, capital of Alborz province. In today's post I'm just going to show you some photos from a small mosque in this place. While its nature is mesmerizing, you can also find stories inside the walls and building.

I'm not going to talk about technical or historical aspects of this structure, but if you are interested, you can ask me in comment section and I can help you with that.

All the photos are taken by my cousin with iPhone 7. If you like his point of view you can check his Instagram.

Just look at the color composition of windows and floor (Persian Rugs)

So this is the first view, where people can come and pray. As you can see there are written words in calligraphic style on the front. They are some words and prays from Muslims holy books, mostly from Quran.

Peoples are not allowed to come into the mosque with shoes, this is why the floor is fully covered with rugs
As you can see, there are lots of color included in this small building. I don't know if you have any experience visiting mosques in Iran. But with any belief and religion, when you step inside these places, you just want to lay down on the floor and enjoy the atmosphere!

Can you feel the life coming out of the windows?
By now you may have became familiar with this colors and windows, but are you satisfied too?!

Even the fences talk to you!
And this is the outer wall of mosque. It's green. Most of the mosques and holy places in Iran have a dominance of green color in them.

And finally here is the location of this beautiful place if you want to find it on the map.

I hope you enjoy this short journey and if you want to see more of this place, just let me know on comment section, there are lots of things you can find in Baraghan! I can't wait to hear from you!

Oh wow... what an amazing place! Your cousin took some really nice pics there, too!

The atmosphere in places of worship is often very special. I like to believe the dedication of the people congregating in such places leaves something behind that can be "felt" in a weird way, so these pictures probably don't even do it justice.

Thanks for sharing! Nice to stumble over a post from you again ;)

What a charming place you shared during PYPT today! Love the photos and the description you wrote of the place! Remarkable colors and décor! 😊

Do you about the SteemitWorldMap project? It allows Steemians to tag posts to https://steemitworldmap.com which is searchable by anyone. Adding posts to the map is optional, not required, but is a fun thing to do! You can go to the website to add a post, but the easiest way is to include a line similar to the following when you author a post:

You can get the exact longitude and latitude of the location from your favorite map (Google, Bing, etc.) or directly from the SteemitWorldMap website. It is good to be as specific as you can be (I usually go into "aerial view" mode so I can be precise). The description can be general (such as "Baraghan, Iran") or specific (such as "XYZ Mosque, Baraghan, Iran"). You can see this line at the bottom of my Old Barn posts, and some other posts that include specific landmarks (mountains, buildings, etc.) that have historical or natural importance.

I thought you might find this interesting. Also there are great "Travel Digests" on the @steemitworldmap blog page!

Dear @thekittygirl
Thanks for your advice. I have seen that steemitworldmap, but because I was reposting this from somewhere else, I wasn't thinking about it at the moment. I'll add it up.
And yes those colors are really something!
While I'm not a spiritual one, I always enjoy walking around these places!

Dear @trincowski
Thanks for your beautiful comment.
In fact I myself am thinking about giving up on every platform similar to Steemit! Or at least be active on more socialized platforms like Instagram while contributing to Steemit like services!
