Ismailimail 
I was trying to keep my distance from Ismaili Mail for a while ;-) but I could not resist commenting on these pictures. Breathtaking pictures!
It’s like Al Pacino in The Godfather Part 3 saying “Just as I am about to break free from all this they drag me right back into it”

Once in a setting of unsurpassable grandeur one of the Shaikh’s disciples said to me, with a movement of his hand towards mountains towering with pine-forested slopes and summits white with snow, and blue sky with white clouds and half-hidden sunlight: ‘God is like that’;
and I understood in that moment with far more than mere mental understanding, that if it were not for the Divine Beauty everything that lay before my eyes would vanish in an instant.
(from the marvelous book, A Sufi Saint of the Twentieth Century: Shaikh Ahmad al-Alawi, his spiritual heritage and legacy by Martin Lings)
