    Photos from Afghanistan

    There are [5] photos from Afghanistan

    Rare scene of women uncovering their faces in public to feel the sun on their skin at a resting area by one of the six deep blue water lakes in Band-e Amir. Views[913] Overheated and overcrowded Japan-donated pick up truck covers the dusty distance. Views[1367] War remains from past and recent conflicts abound all around the country. This one, an old russian tank, is found on the road from Kabul to Bamiyan. Views[812] Local hatter crafts the traditional Qaraqul hat, made from the fur of an endemic breed of sheep, in Kabul. Views[2296] An entire Muslim family attending the weekly Friday prayers at the Blue Mosque in Mazar-e Sharif. Although Taliban laws dictating that women must mandatorily wear the characteristic chadri in public are no longer enforced, women still continue to wear it. Similarly, women can easily be spotten walking behind the husband, just like it was required by the Taliban - back then with a strict rule of no less than 5 meter behind the man. Views[1745]
