The city scape in Tehran is a fairly ugly affair, plenty of concrete, mixed with the thick haze of pollution, which slightly obscures the dry gray landscape. Its ugliness is perhaps emphasised by the incredible snowcapped mountains that can be spotted on the horizon from time to time when the smog clears. However, Persian culture is highly aesthetic, so to create something for the eye to appreciate, quite a number of buildings are covered in large murals. No understanding any Persian means that the message, probably revolutionary and war mongering, is lost of me - but there does seem to be an awful lot of doves.
