Looking down at the city of Zanjan (some 350 km west of the Iranian capital Tehran) from the top of a mountain in the north of the city. The Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences is smack in the middle of the photograph. The white circle shows where I live. Everyday I follow the white path to get to the Institute. My office faces the east (left side of the picture).

The Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, from the south-east. The white circle shows my office in the Physics Department. My window faces the east (right side of the picture).

Standing at the entrance to the new Chemistry Department (behind) and looking at the Physics Department's west side (on the left).

The Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, from the north-east. The circle shows my office in the Physics Department. My window faces the east (left side of the picture).

You can see part of the Physics Department on the right . Some of the students who took part in the International Summer School on Soft and Biological Matter (5-25 June 2004).

Just inside the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences's Northern Entrance looking south. The temporary premises of the Maths Department is on the left. Right at the top of the picture you can see the bottom part of a connecting bridge-way.  You can see another connecting bridge-way in full view farther down. The Physics Department is on the left through the middle and end bridge-ways.

Same as the above!

Some of the students who took part  in the International Summer School on Soft and Biological Matter (5-25 June 2004), having dinner in the Refectory at the Old Campus, some three kilometers south of the Institute.

The International Summer School on Soft and Biological Matter (5-25 June 2004) held at newly built Lecture Hall at the Chemistry Department. The person sitting next to the projector is Dr Ramin Golestanian, Chairperson of the School, Head of the Physics Department, and yours truly's Local Supervisor. :)

Looking at the Northern Entrance of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences from the south side, standing on one of the southern connecting bridge-ways. The Northern Entrance which is right at the very end of the background cannot be seen! The temporary premises of the Maths Department is on the right. The Physics Department is also on the right but behind the photograph through the middle and end bridge-ways.
