Northern Tehran, Iran
Up here the mythically infamous Tehrani smog thins out just enough to get an idea of how massive this city really is. Clear cool water rushes out of the mountain backdrop, down culverts lined with enormous green trees that would seem unimaginable just a few miles south. In fact this is a place where myths are not only dispelled, but destroyed. Forget that preconceived dour black image and get ready for some of the most beautiful people watching on earth. Nosejob bandages and their successive results peer out from colored headscarves that miraculously hang on to the very back of just-out-of-the-salon hairstyles while the fashions on display will definitely make you wish you'd packed differently.
