I was reading an article in www.washingtonpost.com/world/m…
">Washington Post recently about the growing gap between rich and poor in Iran. It says at VIP restaurant of Milad Tower in Tehran a special ice cream covered in edible gold and silver along with caviar is served for $250! That article reminded me of this old shot that I took in one of my trips back in 2007. It's a little street vendor sitting at the corner of a pedestrian crossing bridge. The boy fell in sleep while Milad Tower in the background is bragging its glory to the city. I posted this shot here in my gallery at that time but took it off after few weeks since I was not happy with the quality of picture due to shaky capture and slightly blurry image. But now after reading this article I felt that I want to repost it again!

UPDATE: Nothing is wrong with wealth earned from the right direction. The problem is "extreme" wealth versus "extreme" poverty.
