Incredible shots! Love the mountains in the first one and the two guys on the wall. I've always wanted to visit Afghanistan ever since I saw "Caravans" on the big screen in the late '70's and later read the great book by Michener. Hopefully the situation will improve there. If you get a chance, drop by the Kandahar Airbase and grab a cup of Tim Horton's coffee courtesy of your Canadian buddies.

Two Afghan men 'perching' on a wall. This is how the Pashtun people pretty much always sit.

I believe this is referred to as 'hunkering down', and is the way most people squat in the third world from Arabia right across into the Pacific. Apparently, it's quite comfortable, judging by people sitting that way for hours, but try it for 5 minutes. Pain!
