| ATELIER POORKAN The Art Work of Masoud R. Zargahi Iranian-born Danish Painter and Photographer |
Poorkan is a small village, situated about 40 km north of Tehran via Karaj, at the foots of the Alborz mountain range. The river Karaj runs through the village and its wonderful position makes Poorkan to a magnificent place. For the inhabitants of Tehran and Karaj, Poorkan is a wonderful picnic resort less than half an hour away from the city. People who have been to Poorkan and enjoyed its so-called "Picnic Gardens" always remember this wonderful village and the very kind people who live there. I spent a lot of my spare time in Poorkan while I lived in Iran. To me Poorkan was an oasis just outside the town. Therefore I wish to send Poorkan and the wonderful people who live there a loving thought by calling my web site Atelier Poorkan. |
