Many trees were damaged.
The photos have been taken by Daryoush Nobahari on 6th January 2014, in various districts of the city.

Shocking Death of Sanaz Nezami in the US
A nurse in a Michigan hospital kissed the patient's forehead. Nearly 9,700 kilometres away, Sanaz Nezami's family in Iran watched the simple act over a laptop computer and wept.
Nezami, a vibrant 27-year-old woman who could speak three languages, wanted to pursue an advanced degree in engineering at Michigan Technological University. Instead, she was brain dead just a few weeks after unpacking her bags in a remote area of the United States, a victim of a fatal beating by her new husband, according to police.
Nezami's time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula can be marked in days. Her impact, however, will last much longer.
Nezami was fluent in French, English and Persian. She volunteered to cook for charities. As a teen, she wrote for youth newspapers and magazines and won first place in a 2001 literature competition with an essay on "friendships and the differences between us."

Happy Yalda !
I just found a beautiful photo of Yalda Night table on the internet and it's my pleasure to share it with you.
Happy Yalda ! one of the beautiful ancient Persian ceremonies which makes people closer to each other.
(VIDEO)
The ceremony has its roots in ancient Persia and thousands years ago. Persians (or Iranians) in Yalda night eat watermelon, pomegranate, trail mix and try to have fun with dance and music. Reading the poems of Hafez, 14th century Persian lyric poet, is another part of Yalda Nigh celebration. (Source: PDN)

Google Persian Type does not work today! :(
Since hours ago Google Persian Type section does not work! :(
I hope it's a technical and temporary problem, not related to the Western sanctions against Iran (which actually I think target poor people, not the government).
