Oh, man! I haven't visited Iran for two years now, and this video officially made me homesick! Thank you for reminding me how beautiful mountains are in Iran

I watch these as my bedtime stories, and I always want to ask for another one when it finishes! I love how you make me experience Earth like I'm an astronaut visiting it for the first time.

From space we look peaceful and innocent and unified From the ground we are brutal animals with invisible lines between each other

I live in Jeddah on the Red Sea. Spotted it in your video :-) the city is a wonderful place. Never realized there was a giant cement factory near Jeddah.
