That particular photo is kinda chilling, is all. Lorenzo, I wish you the best of luck over there. It is great to see you have such a close and respectful relationship with the local people. When I was over there, I was sometimes very embarrassed with the actions of my "comrades". Not more than a handful took the time to get to know a few of these noble Persians.
