A group of students in Tehran visit the city’s Tabiat Bridge. “Tabiat” means “Nature” in the Persian language. The bridge was designed by Leila Araghian, a 25 year old designer, as part of a local competition to connect 2 parks in northern Tehran separated by a highway. It’s become a popular spot for kids, teens, and adults to gather.

Kids in Iran are pretty gregarious when it comes to engaging with foreigners. They’re eager to capture a selfie with you (me) and sometimes, to test their english with a friendly “hallo!”

Scouring Flickr to revisit the past (that’s never good). These photos jumped out at me. I used to be artsy fartsy with my camera phone. Now I’m just fartsy.
