sunset on winterland


there were three main sites at the Tehran Sa'd Abad Garden:

the National Palace Museum (White Palace), the Green (Shahvand) Palace, and the Military Museum.

the works shown in the two palaces were some of the finest interior decor we have seen. But knowing the eventual fate of the Pahlavi Dynasty, strangely, it wasn't the palaces that drawn us, but rather, the silent, solemn woods that were around...

imagine the day the shah decided to flee, it was the same woods that witness the end of an era.
