In case you haven't seen the following book/exhibition of aerial photos of Iran by Georg Gerster and commissioned by Farah just before the revolution, take a look at the following amazing photos and story:

A book of the photos is also available from Phaidon and is simply amazing: http://www.phaidon.ca/store/photography/paradise-lost-9780714848846/#
You can also see some of his other aerial pictures on his web page: http://www.georggerster.com/site.as...sid=0,833080521.06.20110,6332819&bkey=0&dex=1
I really feel a sense of indebtedness to Farah for all she has done for Iran's culture and art when she had a chance; truly amazing. She definitely had good taste and vision and the resolve to make a difference.
