Saeid Saadat

  • Hafezie Garden; is one of the outstanding gardens of Shiraz. In my eyes, this garden is sending considerable messages, which are note worthy. This place is holding different aspects of Iranian dignity;such as historical,political,traditional and cultural aspects. First of all, this garden was promoted during the Pahlavi dynasty and the amazing monument was constructed in that era as well. Secondly, the memorial structure is symbol of Hafez and his manner of living, which was designed by French Architect André Godard. Moreover, the Garden also is following the discipline of Persian Gardens,which dating back to more than 2500 years ago, with its logical axis and mathematical distribution of elements on context. Apart from all of these factor I should bring up these days condition of the place, this interesting place with its pavilion and open corridor is one of the rarest places in Shiraz which calls people, from every level of society without considering the gender, position or age to come and chill in great atmosphere. The Garden and the Tomb is welcoming people for reading Hafez poetry, singing different poems of different poets, celebrating new year or celebrating the religious events. So, liberality and democratic condition of this garden in this small scale can be felt if you have experienced life condition of non-democratic society like Iran.

  • Dhaka is the densely populated city where density is 45,000 people per square kilometers. Closely knit, shabby looking low rise structures forming such unruly roof-scapes-a very common picture in Dhaka.

  • This photo is taken on the way of my village home :Modhukhali, Dhaka,Bnagladesh. Rich green paddy fields, spread across the horizon, is perhaps the most familiar picture of rural Bangladesh. And it is indeed remarkable how the limited arable lands of the country managed till now to supply such a large population with food. However, the greed of the real-estate developers, coupled with poor governance, is making it extremely difficult to save the agricultural lands from the grasp of the businessmen.
