Mountains on the Way to Kandahar




The striking thing is how extraordinarily narrow the slice of habitation and cultivation is amid the expense of the mountainous barrenness.  Pretty much any direction you fly from Kabul - this time it was southwest - this is what impresses me, and the view is powerful and somehow different every time.  I will have more to say about Kandahar in a moment, because I got stuck there for two days.
