> 
> Last Thursday ....... Thursday and Friday being the weekend in
> Afghanistan, I was invited to a country property in Qarabagh, a rural
> area some 35 kilometers north of Kabul.  I was surrounded by people of
> great character, who were brimming with hospitality and open
> affection.  The main attraction was a professional group of musicians,
> they played older songs that people sang and danced along with, they
> also played a special song for me.  This is how Afghan men enjoy
> themselves.
> 
> Hope you enjoy the journey, photographed in very difficult lighting
> conditions, at the top of a four storey house, with windows on all
> sides.
