Blue Gold

Iran, My Droughted Homeland,

 with Early Blossoms and Snowless Winters

Today, on the verge of a new era, the people of this ancient land have discovered that their destiny is more tied to the Blue Gold, rather than the Black Gold. The increasing shortage of water is considered as an enormous national tragedy. Over the years, in hundreds of gatherings and demonstrations, people have yelled for every single issue, except for the most valuable origin of their being. Today, they see with regret that their rivers and lakes are drying out and disappearing.
