This is the first little boy we encountered on the trail. He preferred the water bottle to the Chines pear I offered him.
We were lucky. The weather was absolutely gorgeous on the day we were there, but often I wondered how people travelled in winter time when the trail is covered in ice and feet of snow.
This man had rushed after us to suggest we take horses, otherwise our walk would take the whole day.
The only flowers I encountered outside the Qala during my entire stay in Afghnistan. I don't know what they are called, but they had an intoxicating smell.
This is a comparatively wealthy village, because of its strong local tradition of handmade glazed pottery and its relative closeness to Kabul.
I find it ironic that in a country where one often does not find medical facilities for its people, we encountered a sign for an animal clinic.
A makeshift roadside teahouse. In Afghanistan one could very easily spend one's whole day drinking tea. In fact, next time I am travelling there, I would like to do a little project. The project consists of accepting every offer of tea. I wonder how far I would get.
I do not know who plays volleyball here, but whoever it is, they feel a need to enclose the court with a green net fence.
