good job capturing how disjointed this war is, with civilians trying to live their normal lives in the middle of it all.

it's really too bad about all the trash... ;/

Thanks...I've not been too busy of late, but things are getting better now and we'll be back to Afghanistan in October, so watch this space!

I like how the girls and the soldier have just passed each other with basically no kind of reaction from one to the other, it doesn't look as though they've acknowledged that he's armed like he's just another person who they've walked past on their way to school. It's good to see though, that they're not afraid. Great shot. =)

We could round up some tag artists and bring them over...brighten the place up a little and spread a little goodwill at the same time...
