Beautiful land, beautiful people, beautiful pictures - thanks a lot
for sharing. I liked best no. 6 (the little girl smiling from behind
the women in burkha). What lake is that? - looks stunning. And
what building is it in no. 42?


The lakes are at Band-e-Amir and are a really rich blue colour. I've
got other shots of the lake which contrast very well against the red
of the rocks...I may put one of those online at some point.

The building in No 42 (I think you mean 43)...this is in the "Old
City" area of the town of Herat...there aren't too many covered
bazaars in Afghanistan. Herat has a handful of medieval covered
bazaars and some are being demolished to make way for modern
buildings (weak building regulations). Luckily, this covered bazaar
had recently been renovated.
