Location:
Golestan Palaces Complex, Arg Square, 15Th Khordad Avenue, Tehran.

A Brief History About the Location:
Few days ago I visited Golestan Palaces Complaex, this was my first time of This oldest historic monuments in Tehran, the Golestan Palace (Palace of Flowers) belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehran’s Historic Arg (citadel).
The Arg was built during the reign of Tahmasb I (r. 1524-1576) of the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736), and was later renovated by Karim Khan Zand (r. 1750-1779). Agha Mohamd Khan Qajar (1742-1797) chose Tehran as his capital. The Arg became the site of the Qajar (1794-1925).Court and Golestan Palace became the official residence of the royal family.
During the Pahlavi era (1925-1979) Golestan Palace was used for formal royal receptions. The most important ceremonies to be held in the Palace during the Pahlavi era were the coronation of Reza Khan (r. 1925-1941) in Takht-e Marmar and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941-deposed 1979) in the Museum Hall.
In its present state, Golestan Palace is the result of roughly 400 years construction and renovations. The buildings at the contemporary location each have a unique history. (Courtesy of: www.golestanpalace.ir)

Motivation:
During my walk at the garden, I noticed to the image at small pool which was reflex of outer face of Takhte Marmar Building (The Marble Throne) which was built in 1806 by order of Fath Ali Shah Qajar (r. 1797-1834). So I took the picture in a way that could show the mirrored image.

P.P. Job:
I made some adjustments at Photo Shop CS2 including color, level and contrast and also in layer properties.

Hope you love it!

Javad.
