Reisdetails van Iran en de Kaukasus

Reis:

Iran en de Kaukasus

Omschrijving:

Iran is een land met een lange historie, maar tegenwoordig zijn er wel wat spanningen met (een groot deel van) de rest van de wereld.
Ik wil niet het risico lopen dat als de spanningen nog verder oplopen en het land helemaal niet meer te bezoeken zou zijn en er wellicht historische monumenten verwoest worden voordat ik ze heb bezocht.

Wie Iran zegt zegt Isfahan en kan dan denken aan Tommy Wieringa (Ik was nooit in Isfahaan) of nog waarschijnlijker aan het gedicht (De tuinman en de dood) van Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck:

Een Perzisch Edelman:
Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
"Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
"Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

Reis:

Iran en de Kaukasus

Omschrijving:

Iran is een land met een lange historie, maar tegenwoordig zijn er wel wat spanningen met (een groot deel van) de rest van de wereld.
Ik wil niet het risico lopen dat als de spanningen nog verder oplopen en het land helemaal niet meer te bezoeken zou zijn en er wellicht historische monumenten verwoest worden voordat ik ze heb bezocht.

Wie Iran zegt zegt Isfahan en kan dan denken aan Tommy Wieringa (Ik was nooit in Isfahaan) of nog waarschijnlijker aan het gedicht (De tuinman en de dood) van Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck:

Een Perzisch Edelman:
Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
"Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
"Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

Reisdetails van Iran en de Kaukasus

Reis:

Iran en de Kaukasus

Omschrijving:

Iran is een land met een lange historie, maar tegenwoordig zijn er wel wat spanningen met (een groot deel van) de rest van de wereld.
Ik wil niet het risico lopen dat als de spanningen nog verder oplopen en het land helemaal niet meer te bezoeken zou zijn en er wellicht historische monumenten verwoest worden voordat ik ze heb bezocht.

Wie Iran zegt zegt Isfahan en kan dan denken aan Tommy Wieringa (Ik was nooit in Isfahaan) of nog waarschijnlijker aan het gedicht (De tuinman en de dood) van Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck:

Een Perzisch Edelman:
Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
"Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
"Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

Reis:

Iran en de Kaukasus

Omschrijving:

Iran is een land met een lange historie, maar tegenwoordig zijn er wel wat spanningen met (een groot deel van) de rest van de wereld.
Ik wil niet het risico lopen dat als de spanningen nog verder oplopen en het land helemaal niet meer te bezoeken zou zijn en er wellicht historische monumenten verwoest worden voordat ik ze heb bezocht.

Wie Iran zegt zegt Isfahan en kan dan denken aan Tommy Wieringa (Ik was nooit in Isfahaan) of nog waarschijnlijker aan het gedicht (De tuinman en de dood) van Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck:

Een Perzisch Edelman:
Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
"Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
"Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

Een Perzisch Edelman:
Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
"Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
"Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

besloten om in 2007 ontslag te nemen en twee jaar de wereld over te reizen. Ik heb niet de illusie dat ik de hele wereld in twee jaar kan bezoeken, maar het is wel mogelijk om veel nieuwe indrukken op te doen. Naast deze reisblog heb ik ook nog een eigen site. Op http://leo.koolhoven.name staat echter geen blog, maar wel wat algemene info van mij. Als je meer foto's van mij en mijn reizen wilt zien dan kan je deze bekijken op http://www.flickr.com/photos/leokoolhoven . Ik maak niet veel filmpjes, maar de filmpjes die ik heb gemaakt staan op http://www.youtube.com/LeoKoolhoven . Voor de Hyvers onder jullie kan ik meedelen dat ik ook daar op http://leokoolhoven.hyves.net online ben geweest, maar dat ik op Faceboek http://www.facebook.com/leokoolhoven nog wel actief ben. Je kan je goede geld gebruiken om mij extra fotoruimte cadeau te doen of om een album te geven. Als je echter echt iets goeds wilt doen met je geld dan is de volgende site een aanrader http://www.kiva.org/lender/LeoKoolhoven . Er zijn meerdere sites op internet waar mensen hun lijstje met bezochte landen bijhouden. Op http://mosttraveledpeople.com/ heeft men de wereld opgedeeld in 873 gebieden in plaats van de 195 landen (193 leden van de Verenigde Naties plus Palestina en Vaticaanstad) die meestal wordt gebruikt. Ik heb al behoorlijk wat vlaggetjes verzameld, maar ik ben geen eilandhopper en wil ook nog genieten van het reizen. Een toppositie op een van de lijstjes zal ik dan ook niet snel bereiken, maar het is wel leuk om bij te houden.

    Iran en de Kaukasus

    Iran is een land met een lange historie, maar tegenwoordig zijn er wel wat spanningen met (een groot deel van) de rest van de wereld.
    Ik wil niet het risico lopen dat als de spanningen nog verder oplopen en het land helemaal niet meer te bezoeken zou zijn en er wellicht historische monumenten verwoest worden voordat ik ze heb bezocht.

    Wie Iran zegt zegt Isfahan en kan dan denken aan Tommy Wieringa (Ik was nooit in Isfahaan) of nog waarschijnlijker aan het gedicht (De tuinman en de dood) van Pieter Nicolaas van Eyck:

    Een Perzisch Edelman:
    Van morgen ijlt mijn tuinman, wit van schrik,
    Mijn woning in: "Heer, Heer, één ogenblik!
    Ginds, in de rooshof, snoeide ik loot na loot,
    Toen keek ik achter mij. Daar stond de Dood.
    Ik schrok, en haastte mij langs de andere kant,
    Maar zag nog juist de dreiging van zijn hand.
    Meester, uw paard, en laat mij spoorslags gaan,
    Voor de avond nog bereik ik Ispahaan!" -
    Van middag (lang reeds was hij heengespoed)
    Heb ik in 't cederpark de Dood ontmoet.
    "Waarom," zo vraag ik, want hij wacht en zwijgt,
    "Hebt gij van morgen vroeg mijn knecht gedreigd?"
    Glimlachend antwoordt hij: "Geen dreiging was 't,
    Waarvoor uw tuinman vlood. Ik was verrast,
    Toen 'k 's morgens hier nog stil aan 't werk zag staan,
    Die 'k 's avonds halen moest in Ispahaan."

    En na het Islamistische Iran is het tijd om de vroeg-Christelijke landen Armenië en Georgië te bezoeken. Armenië was in 301 het eerste land dat het Christenlijk geloof als staatsgodsdienst invoerde, Georgië volgde in 319. Later in de 4e eeuw volgden 2 van 4 grote mogendheden van die tijd, in 325 het Koninkrijk van Aksum en in 380 het Romeinse Rijk (Perzië en China waren de andere belangrijke staten).
    Het Christelijke geloof heeft het langer volgehouden dan de onafhankelijkheid van Armenië en Georgië. Maar als ze weer eens onafhankelijk waren (zoals in de 12e eeuw) dan gingen ze weer veel kerken en kloosters bouwen, de laatste 20 jaar worden veel historische kerken ook weer gerestaureerd (of opnieuw gebouwd).

    Leo

    Na 10 jaar en 10 maanden gewerkt te hebben bij Desch Plantpak heb ik besloten om in 2007 ontslag te nemen en twee jaar de wereld over te reizen. Ik heb niet de illusie dat ik de hele wereld in twee jaar kan bezoeken, maar het is wel mogelijk om veel nieuwe indrukken op te doen. Naast deze reisblog heb ik ook nog een eigen site. Op http://leo.koolhoven.name staat echter geen blog, maar wel wat algemene info van mij. Als je meer foto's van mij en mijn reizen wilt zien dan kan je deze bekijken op http://www.flickr.com/photos/leokoolhoven . Ik maak niet veel filmpjes, maar de filmpjes die ik heb gemaakt staan op http://www.youtube.com/LeoKoolhoven . Voor de Hyvers onder jullie kan ik meedelen dat ik ook daar op http://leokoolhoven.hyves.net online ben geweest, maar dat ik op Faceboek http://www.facebook.com/leokoolhoven nog wel actief ben. Je kan je goede geld gebruiken om mij extra fotoruimte cadeau te doen of om een album te geven. Als je echter echt iets goeds wilt doen met je geld dan is de volgende site een aanrader http://www.kiva.org/lender/LeoKoolhoven . Er zijn meerdere sites op internet waar mensen hun lijstje met bezochte landen bijhouden. Op http://mosttraveledpeople.com/ heeft men de wereld opgedeeld in 873 gebieden in plaats van de 195 landen (193 leden van de Verenigde Naties plus Palestina en Vaticaanstad) die meestal wordt gebruikt. Ik heb al behoorlijk wat vlaggetjes verzameld, maar ik ben geen eilandhopper en wil ook nog genieten van het reizen. Een toppositie op een van de lijstjes zal ik dan ook niet snel bereiken, maar het is wel leuk om bij te houden.
