tabriz, IRAN - 2nd January 2011

By: ipuenktchen

today ipue went together with me, HENRIK, by bus downtown.. we had to buy new local postcards..

and what did she show me??? a traditional *winter-fastfood*  :p - pls have a look!!!
people like it a lot and you can find it everywhere! it's very common in winter!!! - pic5

even we went also again to the BLUE MOSQUE, which is ipue's favorite place for buying cards!! as we had to wait for the guy who sells the cards we had a photo session in the mean-time ;-))))

the famous BLUE MOSQUE in tabriz is a beautiful sample of brick stone mosques!! built in 1465 and destroyed mostly in an earthquake in 1779, rebuilt in the seventies and working on the restauration of the painting inside until some years ago, it's again a breathtaking beautiful colourful building!! - pic4

when people are asking why the name of this old mosque is *blue mosque*, they must have a look at the southern part of the mosque, which was decorated with beautiful lapislazuli tiles!! - pic3

this design in blue mosque had been the *exam* for everybody in the courses of IR heritage in pottery design.. it is sooo difficult as ipue told me, and everybody who didn't got hopeless by trying to copy this design, had got a permament member of pottery friends association... *smile* - pic2

schaut mal genau hin - erinnert euch dieses motiv an irgendwas?? jau.... so isses.. die schwarzen zeiten in DE.. der typ hatte sich das zeichen nicht selber einfallenlassen, sondern es war schon abgekupfert - es findet sich an vielen stellen in der islamischen kunst! und es steht fuer die bedeutung der vier grundelemente
****FEUER, WASSER, LUFT & ERDE**** - pic1
