PS:Blue windows everywhere. This is a tradition. I interpret it as each family wants to face sky.

Orāmān,Kermānshāh,Iran

PS:This is the famous village Orāmān. Been here last year it is somehow known for me. Kind of specific architecture makes the village look so interesting visually. Each house is made of stones found around and all the windows are colored blue. It has rained heavily last night and I asked a local driver to survive me. Nothing has evolved from last year. Every thing the same. Nice people, nice weather, nice language and nice life.

PS:Religious ceremony in Pir Shāliār is accompanied with specific music from the region. People also frequently tie some teared part of colorful cloths and ask god for what they really hope for in their lives.
