Two years ago, I have been to Iran. One of my Iranian friends recommended me that I should go to Teheran, Isfahan and Shriaz, because they are famous cities in Iran. I’m a designer and I like architecture, so every time when I go to a new place, I like to see their buildings and take a lot of pictures. The feeling of seeing a building just through pictures or in the building to see it is totally different. Through pictures you can’t feel buildings’ impression of space, how big of them , lightning features or other detail information of them. In this trip, Nasir- Ol- Molk Mosque given me a deep impression. It was a mosque in Shriaz and the famous part of it was its pink color tiles of this building, so it also called pink mosque. Its windows glass is made of a lot of pieces colorful glass, and amazing time is when the sunlight go through this glass. It will reflect colorful lighting features in this building, as well as this building’s floor is full of colorful Persia rugs. They are both create a magical light and shadow effect. I think most of girls will like this place, now I’m a big fun of it.

Marks: Every word or phrase underline is I checked online, and I’m not sure if it is right or the correct impression. By the way, please teach me how to read it, thanks very much.
