^lol

Yazd is a very interesting city. I remember Cyrus has a similar thread a while back ago on Yazd. I once saw a TV show where an Australian guy was traveling around Iran and he ended his journey in Yazd at a Zoroastrian fire temple. I think it was on the Travel Channel or National Geographic Channel.

Anyways, nice work Blackforest.

We need to learn from past, and we need to do it real fast, before its too late.
