Royal Entrance

@Markus: Thanks Markus! Actually the picture was more comprehensive, like a postcard, but I decided to cut off parts of it, so I got this composition which I found more attrative than the original one.

@Olaide: Thank you Olaide, my reply to MaryB is also for you.

@MaryB: Thanks, MaryB, It gives me great pleasure to share these images that are familiar for me because I see them so often, with others thousands of miles away. When I was a child we had to wait weeks to receive a paper photograph (by boat mail of course, air mail was far more expensive) and everybody was stunned about that, nobody could have dreamed about this opportunity of Internet.

@Rags: Thanks, Rags, I find it always worthwhile to fill the "description" because my pictures need it, some good photographers make pictures that "speak for themselves" and need no further explanation (e.g. Kaveh from Tehran).

@Soodabeh: Thank you Sodabeh! I'm back in town again. Regards, you too!
