Light source
In many mosques of Iran,Isfahan (ie. Jameh Mosque of Isfahan,Jameh Mosque of Naeen and etc) light source is a thin onyx stone.
It caused that the light spreads (increasing the illumination) and prevents from the straight light of sun and increasing the heat.
===================================================================
منبع نور
در بسیاری از مساجد اصفهان (برای مثال مسجد جامع اصفهان، مسجد جامع نایین) نور مسجد از قطعه سنگ مرمر نازکی تامین می گردد. این روش باعث می شود نور در داخل شبستان پخش شود و در نتیجه به افزایش روشنایی و همچنین جلوگیری از تابش مستقیم نور خورشید و گرمای محیط (مخصوصا در محیط کویری) منجر می گردد.

کلیسای سن استپانوس یا سنت استپانوس دومین کلیسای مهم ارامنه ایران است که از نظر اهمیت بعد از قره‌کلیسا قرار می‌گیرد. این بنا در استان آذربایجان شرقی در ۱۷ کیلومتری غرب شهر جلفا و در فاصله ۳ کیلومتری کرانه جنوبی رودخانه ارس در محلی به نام قزل وانک (صومعه سرخ) واقع شده است. این کلیسا در سده نهم میلادی ساخته شده است ولی به علت زلزله دچار آسیب‌های جدی شده بود که در دوران صفویه مورد مرمت و بازسازی قرار گرفت.
کلیه محوطه کلیسا در قلب کوه‌ها و در میان طبیعت سبز منطقه مرزی جلفا و جمهوری آذربایجان قرار گرفته است.

Abbasian House / Kashan / Isfahan / Iran
---
Abbasian House is a large traditional historical house located in Kashan, Isfahan Province, Iran.
Built during the late 1700s, the house is a beautiful example of Kashani residential architecture. It is said to have been the property of a famous cleric. It has six courtyards that would fit the needs of different families.
It is located near the Tabatabaei House in the old historic neighborhood of Kashan.
One of the chambers has a ceiling designed with mirror pieces so as to give the impression of a starry sky under the nocturnal glitter of candlelight. The house also was designed with secret passageways, perhaps designed for the escape of the family in times of invasion and emergencies.
The house is now a museum and is protected by Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization.

My first try on Anaglyph Photography
[Original Size]
---
آناگليف ها تصاويري مسطح هستند که در صورتي که با عينک ويژه با شيشه هاي رنگين از د‌و رنگ متفاوت (مثلا سبز و سرخ، يا سرخ و آبي يا ...) به آنها نگريسته شود، کاملا سه بعد‌ي و برجسته به نظر می‌رسند اما رنگ آنها وابسته به رنگ اين شيشه ها خواهد بود؛ بنابراين يك تصویر آناگلیف رنگ هاي حقيقي خود را از د‌ست می‌د‌هد.

Anaglyph images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 2 color glasses (each lens a chromatically opposite color, usually red and cyan). Images are made up of two color layers, superimposed, but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject is in the center, while the foreground and background are shifted laterally in opposite directions. The picture contains two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "color coded" "anaglyph glasses", they reveal an integrated stereoscopic image. The visual cortex of the brain fuses this into perception of a three dimensional scene or composition.
