It was cold and she was freezing.
However, she was sitting and hoped to sell at least one of her products.
I think this moment should have been taken by camera.
Although she was young and fighting for her life.

The great Aryan land, with its beautiful structures, has made me an Iranian identity since ancient times. As much as I have energy, I record the Iranian identity in different places of the great Iran with my photos because I am defined in this land.

Why?

During my daily life, when I go out and see the surroundings, I encounter many question marks.
I can almost say that I am familiar with the art of photography.
I picture them.

Some Iranians prefer to sleep on the roof in spring, summer, and the first month of autumn season. Of course, not the wealthy class, but the middle class.
This issue has been considered a common thing in the past in large families.
This night-to-morning rest model is both strange and interesting. I think it can be a unique experience.

"Captured from the serene altitude aboard an Airbus A340, this image seizes the delicate harmony of dawn. Above the cloudscape, hues of golden sunrise blend into deep azure skies, symbolizing a transition from night to day and dreams to reality. The airplane’s wing, visible in the foreground, serves as a silent witness to the grandeur of nature, evoking the limitless journey of the soul. This NFT is a testament to the beauty and mystery of flying beyond our horizons."

We definitely didn't know, but nowadays we can't not know.
We are condemned.
We are condemned to know: We must learn to be kind to nature.
With the high speed of information circulation and increasing public understanding, we should know that nature is not a place to dump garbage.
Whenever we accept that there is a problem somewhere, we can definitely take action to fix it.
We must update our culture and interact better with nature.

Chinese guardian lions, known as stone lions or kingdom guardian lions, were symbols in ancient times of China. They were traditionally placed in front of royal palaces, royal tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of high-ranking officials and the wealthy from the Han Dynasty (206 BC to 220 AD) onwards. 
They were believed to have strong protective properties. they had. Pairs of protective lions are still decorative symbols in front of the entrances of restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, and other busy places in China. In other areas where Chinese immigrants have gathered, protective lions can be seen in areas such as Chinatown.

I like Chinese history and culture
For this reason, due to numerous trips to this country, 
I took as many photos as I could.
A collection of real and edited photos presented to you.

Turtle statues everywhere in China are important symbols with deep cultural and ancient meanings. I will mention some of these meanings below:

1. Longevity and Endurance: Turtles are known in Chinese culture for their longevity and are revered as a symbol of longevity, health, and endurance. The turtle statues in China are a reminder of these virtues and wish the emperor and the people of China a long and healthy life.

2. Stability and balance: Turtles, with their hard and solid shell, are considered a symbol of stability, balance, and order. In Chinese philosophy, turtles are seen as creatures that carry the earth and symbolize stability and balance in the world. The turtle statues in China are a reminder of the importance of maintaining order and balance in the empire and society.

3. Good luck and fortune: Turtles are known as lucky creatures and a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture. It is said that turtles can bring wealth and prosperity and protect people from bad luck. The turtle statues in China symbolize wishing good luck and prosperity to the emperor and the people of China.

4. Knowledge and wisdom: In Chinese culture, turtles are known as wise creatures with deep wisdom. In Chinese mythology, turtles are often depicted as advisors to emperors and guides to sages. The turtle statues in China are a reminder of the importance of knowledge and wisdom in governance and leadership.

5. Yin and Yang: Turtles, with their hard shells and soft bellies, symbolize the delicate balance between yin and yang, two opposing and complementary forces in Chinese philosophy. The turtle sculptures in China are a reminder of the importance of maintaining balance and harmony between opposing forces in life.

All in all, the turtle sculptures in China are powerful symbols that depict deep cultural and ancient meanings. These statues commemorate the wish for longevity, health, stability, good luck, knowledge, wisdom, and balance in the empire and society.
