Iran - Dusk over Tehran Cityscape & Borj-e Milad - Milad Tower - Tallest tower in Iran
Iran - Tehran - Tehrān - تهران - Capital of Iran - Tehran Cityscape & Borj-e Milad - Milad Tower - برج میلاد - Tallest tower in Iran & part of The Tehran International Trade and Convention Center
Tehran is home to many historic mosques, churches, synagogues and Zoroastrian fire temples. Contemporary Tehran is a modern city featuring many tall structures, of which the Azadi (Freedom) Tower and the Milad Tower have come to be symbols of Tehran itself.
Milad Tower (aka Borj-e-Milad , Persian: برج میلاد ) is the tallest tower in Iran. Built in between the Shahrak-e Gharb and Gisha districts of Tehran, it stands 435 m (1,427 ft) high from base to tip of the antenna. The head consists of a large pod with 12 floors, the roof of which is at 315 m (1,033 ft). Below this is a staircase and elevators to reach the area. Milad Tower is the sixth tallest tower in the world after the Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower in Guangzhou, CN Tower in Toronto, Ostankino Tower in Moscow, and the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai. It is also currently (in early 2010) the 14th tallest freestanding structure in the world.
I think I have only posted traditional and historial places in Iran, so for once - here is a modern skyline of Tehran with newly finished Milad Tower.

Dag Lucie,
This is very beautiful, i did not know Tehran has this kind of skyline with that tower. And it is that tower in combination with that fine warm pinkish light what does the magic trick here. Beautiful shot, beautiful light.........you really see the world my dear......wish i stood there beside you.
Groetjes, Henk
