People are nice and friendly.. Most of them...

Here's a couple of my own pictures.









Don't break any laws, though.
You might end up in one of these police detention.

That detention centre is awesome.

We need that detention centre in my place!!

In the first picture, what's that pile of rocks on the left? Does it have any significance.

The fish over there taste funny, though...

Now i know why..!!

I think it's the nomades that make them.
Maybe for direction, i'm not sure.

A couple more.

Two taken from the roof of Kabul City Police's Headquarters.
In the second you can see the women's jail.




The old queens castle.



Jingle trucks


If you are really bad you will end up with your back against this wall.

From Saurobi




More from the Kabul area.











My sarge took most of these while i was driving during a recce in the Kabul-Bagram area that took 7-8 days.

Top pix mate thanks for sharing

Thank you..

Some nomads in Saurobi.
There's more than 2 million nomads in Afghanistan.
Sometimes they pop up in the middle of nowhere.
Kindda spooky.









Alot of these "Cochis" have green eyes and some of their women are really really beautifull..
And only cost around 100 goats.

In the winter it's freezing in the mountains.
Sometimes it shows alot and roads closes.







The highest mountain in Afghanistan is Nowshak near the Wakhan corridor at 7485m.

Some old colleguess actually went through the Wakhan corridor and ended up near the border to China(Little Pamir).


This where the road ends close to China

I have been in Paghman serveral times and most of it is ruins today.
Found this neat little garden, tough.

Great pics!

Aitch, you have a real talent for portraits there Fantastic photys mate. What camera do you have?

It`s hard to reconcile those images with the loss of life and reports of the hardest fighting the Corps has been involved in since WW II.
Well done mate
