This photo means a lot to me … I had to run around the traffic circle to align the sunburst with the top of the Azadi Tower.
When I visited the top level, I made a point of standing in the center window of each of the four sides.
Whenever I see a photo of the tower, whatever the circumstance, I can say with certainty that I was there.
Taken ~ New Years Day of ’79 … I left Tehran for the final time on January 3.
My parents got out the day before the Shah closed the airport.
