  • This picture is sign of a discovered mine, which has yet to be activated. Rocks are painted red for later de-activation. When the rocks are white, the mine has been cleared. When there is no colour, then watch your step. Teams of mine seekers are in Afghanistan all the time. Mines have been planted as little as a metre off most roads. So Afghanistan was not a place for idle wandering around off road.

  • A typical scene around the cliffs of Bamiyan. Fired and live bullets lying around everywhere. Most places seem to have been de-mined. But we still watched where we put our feet all the time.

  • This must of seen some action during all the years of defending the valley from either Soviets, Taliban, or anyone else.

     Seeing recent pictures of Band-i-Amir and Bamiyan is mind-blowing. I was there, too, but many years ago -- 1970 I think -- when Afghanistan was still at peace. Band-i-Amir was heavenly. I'm happy to see that it still is.

     Excellent page... Of course, true Buddhism is not actually a religious organization, a subtlety apparently lost on the Taliban...
