Tehran: A Different Perspective

By Jason Leach
Published November 29, 2006

Folks who know me know that I've got an itch to travel. I've been to a few spots Colombia, US, Cuba, and Dominican Republic, but never over the Atlantic or Pacific.

One place that I will visit someday (I hope) is the Middle East. I'm always fascinated by images and stories I hear about various Mid-East nations compared with what we see on TV every day.

Tehran, Iran

Obviously I won't be heading over there anytime soon (and my wife says I can go alone), but check out the photos on this page of Tehran, Iran.

Perhaps I should email these to CNN or NBC. For some reason the images they show of Iran don't look like this.

Jason Leach was born and raised in the Hammer and currently lives downtown with his wife and children. You can follow him on twitter.
