Hanging Around in Alleys of Breeze

Never try to light a cigarette in Bushehr's shaded, breezy alleys — you'll be wasting your time.

Plants covered in flowers during winter add beauty to the urban fabric.

The bright colors of the edifices alongside green ivy harmonize and beautify the cityscape — and reduce the heat inside the buildings.

Where coral stones with their fossilized shells are visible, they lend beauty to the cityscape and keep the edifices cool and sturdy.

Openings and windows are part of the harmonious urban facade, channeling alley breezes into the buildings.

The presence of Afro-Iranians inspires Bushehr's artists.

In the alleys of breeze, you get lost — and found.
