Photographs of Afghanistan

Home > Photos

Some people interested in Afghanistan who have never visited most likely have visions of a country torn apart by war and inhabited by people constantly engaged in conflict. However, life goes on in Afghanistan and pictures help us realize that. The photos linked to on this page follow no particular theme, however, and attempt has been made to put these photo collections into some type of category.
