مسجد جامع
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
― Rumi
The city of Isfahan was one of my dreams to visit. I was amazed by its beauty and rich architecture, this is unique place in the world.
The wonderful Jameh mosque in Isfahan is part of the UNESCO world heritage. Anyone would lost his speech in front of the magnificent view of the mosque complex with the closed garden and fountains. Just the visitor can feel the amazement of being so little in front of a enormously grand architectural ensemble, full of Islamic art.
No matter how many photos I took, they were not enough to give the exact impression and feeling.
I went to city of Isfahan in winter (January) and in summer (August), and both times I was enchanted by the wonderful view of the complex, and its splendor and rich art. As the travel can be exhausting, I really wish one day to go there on my own, to stay for longer time in Isfahan, and enjoy the special moments in this place. It requires more concentration to see and feel, as if you are trapped in the history of time. This is an amazing feeling, to be so little in front of the enormous architectural and art monument, to feel like so many generations and cultures and people enjoyed the same view, preserved for the time ahead...That what reminds me of the word "eternity" and also "value". I think everyone should see that at least once in his life, feel the atmosphere there, the open garden, the amazing bazar. Then surely he would need to come back again, and again!
