Photos from Iran Tour

Here are a few photos taken on our way to Yazd, and once we arrive there in the evening. I will have some more and also post a link to my Picasa Web Album so you can see more photos.



A local stopping to check us out as we stop at the 4200 year old cypress tree on the way to Yazd.


Our hotel in Yazd- the Moshir Garden Hotel- a beautiful place! Gardens and fountains everywhere!



Water cisitern near Yazd.




Ice house - this bee hive structure covers a deep pit that, in the winter, would have water added slowly as it froze to make a huge block of ice. It would stay cold enough to provide ice through spring and into early summer.
