While Working in Kabul

Working in Afghanistan at different times in the last few years, starting in Kabul. It is a great place to work and explore, but I wouldn’t want to live there. It is a land frozen in time with an instant 21st century infusion.

Downtown Kabul… population about 2million













Snapshot of the area east of downtown…
I drove past the green, round dome mosque every day to work.















180° in the other direction…..













Buskashi. The national sport of Afghanistan. Buskashi:”Get The Goat” Actually it is a beheaded calf.














Late February….












Fledgling entrepreneurs….














Countryside local girl.
I caught her by surprise…. Most women still cover up and don’t like their picture taken.
I really shouldn’t post this… but…. She is beautiful.














She was climbing up behind the Queen’s palace in the background….
Mausoleum in the foreground….
