Second shot, shot in Soobaataan village, Gilan province, Iran. Take a look at its map from satellite here. That's where this shot was taken too. Many better ones will come soon....
The pose in the second shot is representing the Semaa' dance of the Sufi-s.
On a completely irrelevant side note (as if the rest of the quotes or side notes on this photolog are completely relevant !), the USA buys more oil from Canada than from Saudi Arabia.
