Many Afghanistan pics

Recommended Posts

A journey of a Russian photographer through the country from the capital to scrap yards to poppy fields. With notes in Russian.

This, I think, should be an online-translator-friendly version (plain text + pics). Links to any of the 7 parts are at the bottom of the entries - http://zyalt.livejournal.com/409891.html

This is a fancy pants gallery edition which includes a few entries not present above (school, market) http://turbina.ru/authors/ilya/journals/697/

 

Worth a look, even if you're not going to bother with notes, since the pics are just nice, IMO.

Well, it'll be a while before Kabul becomes a major Tourist attraction I suspect.

 

But, my initial impression was "Our troops are risking their lives for this s**t-hole?"

It does get better as the reporter moves away from dense cities, military bases, rusty tanks, child labor brick makers, poppies... Afghanistan looks at its best in those areas where no people are involved.
