Selseleh-Ye Spin Ghar
Originally uploaded by Pandora and Bacchus.
Afghanistan is an amazing country, and it reminds me of Arizona. There were high pine forests on the sides of mountains along the Pakistan border, wide river valleys that were ribbons of green surrounded by brown desert, and moonlike craterscapes. One of the rivers east of Bagram looks like the Colorado river south of Hoover Dam. Here are some photos from a flight from Khowst to Jalalabad. The first is in the Selseleh-Ye Spin Ghar mountain range. It reminds me of Northern Arizona.
