Thank you for taking the time to share these photos with us. It puts things into greater perspective, from the haves to the have nots. Sometimes all we need is a little reminder of how fortunate we are to have the little things in life that we often take for granted. To be more grateful and thankful for what we have. Seeing your post gives me mixed feelings as to how far I should pursue this hobby (materialism). Thanks again for such a wonderful tour. I hope the Afghans can have better lives and the women can get their education.


Best Regards
Gatsby

Behind Enemy Lines: Afghanistan

 
 By: Pour le Mérite : June 4th, 2023-22:23
Hey there. Another day, another trip of mine, here to give a quick glance of a country that’s mostly covered in our news section and not so much in a photographers digest for it’s beauty. This trip was supposed to take place in September 2021 but I think ...  

Wow, great post

Interesting place for sure. I am tempting to go to a few countries like Afghanistan and North Korea before I have kids. Looks a lot more interesting than plain vanilla travel.

Outstanding pictorial.

Incredible content ...

gave me mixed emotions. Do you work for National Geographic? . Thanks for sharing such an exciting adventure with us.

An impressive photo report of a country that I've never been to!

Kabul! What an unusual place! I'm surprised of the prevalence and propensity of guns in these photos. That was a surprise to me. Looks like there are more guns in Afghanistan than in gun-loving USA. It's important that we don't see Afghanistan as "behind ... 

by my count almost 75 photographs ...

more than any post in my memory (not that it's a contest). As much as possible in this media, a good insight into certain aspects of the area, and a good mix of landscapes, cityscapes, cultural aspects, and portraiture. Kids always make a warm addition to... 

Thanks a lot. I'm actually suprised that I hit the same range again. I had around 100 to show but it's always an evaluation on what story I want to tell.

I've noticed that you and Nicholas are the only ones having read "all" my travelogues. And because the kids gave you some tears in the eye, another shot that was originally selected for my posting. ...  

Lovely portrait ...

and I can't help but notice the "costume", which appears to be the same design as the one that is worn by you (?) in the final photo of the Afghanistan series. Looks very comfortable. Casey .

Fascinating. Thank you.

I have to admit, I would not have dared to go.

5 star post!

Thank you for taking us along for the trip. A place many of us will never see or even think of visiting. Polar opposite to me as I was just visiting Nashville during Memorial Day weekend (didn’t realize it was a long weekend when we booked the trip). A Ta... 

Epic post. Thanks for sharing.

I'm certain this is as close to Afghanistan as I will ever get.

What a trip! Well composed photos.

Amazing report

I am deeply impressed by this series...

... and also saddened to see the social progress reached by hard work to be annihilated within a few weeks. However, Afghani clocks always ran different, so improvement for everybody is just a matter of time, inshallah ... Marcus

What a fantastic journey + postcards!

absolutely fantastic. A great read

Very...interesting

Beautiful architecture on some of the mosques but your tour smells too much like a visit to the Stalinist USSR or North Korea - a Potempkin Village sort of exposure. Who knows? REvisit in ten years and see if things are the same or different...
