Palace in the snow

a moment ago, we were still seeing low rise houses made of mud bricks, largely unfinished, with a compromised facade that spelt out nothing remotely resemblence to the word "comfort", in less than an hour, we were transported to a completely different scene.

a vast mansion, stood in front of a frozen lake, with its back to the mountain filled with snow...

The National Palace (White) Museum, the last of Shah's palace before he was forced to leave the country in 1979 as a result of the Islamic Revolution.
