Because of the public holiday I proposed to walk towards the Zayende Rud river towards the Khaju bridge, where some singing might be going on and thus some sort of animation. Iranians tend to take advantage of every bit of free time to go out with their family members and enjoy nature or any form of open air activity, particularly if the weather isn't too bad.
We alked for two hours on end until we sighted the Khaju bridge. Although we could hear some male singers we stopped at the Cultural Centre underneath its foundations, where we spent some time chosing books by Iranian authors, which were translated into English and French.
I always seem to get emotial when I listen to these street singers. Many of their voices are absolutely astounding ... and then it's the whole aspect of one starting and then the other following ... in what always sound to me like laments ...
We stayed for a while till we finally decided to make our way towards the Imam square, passing by another one of my favourite nature oriented statues.
