Sometimes during an earthquake it's not only the earth shaking, but also people's lives... hundreds and thousands of them... Many of them for the last time... 😞
Three years after the earthquake in Bam the city still looks like a front line. Most of the rubble has been moved to the desert, rest just pushed to the side, left to be forgotten... and there is a new city being built in the middle of it all, "even more beautiful" as the locals say. The palms are everywhere and amongst them there is a new "forest of steel skeletons" growing... they slowly transform into new houses, and new history is being written!
Three years after the big earthquake in Bam, the city is full of life. Everybody is involved in the process of its reconstruction. One can hear the concrete mixers at work and see the light of welding machines all the time. There is omnipresent dust in the air (which looks like fog at night). It all looks like an ants' nest at peak time 😊 Death of 45 thousand people will not be wasted 😊 not here 😊
Greetings from the town with 100mm of rain a year...
