At The Bookstore



At the left corner of this image is the book "In The Shadow of Mountains" by Steve McCurry.
It contains many previously unpublished photographs of Afghanistan and its people.
The images collected here document the hardships faced by a nation damaged
by conflict and also captures the unique beauty of this divided country.

The composition is fantastic. The children of Afghanistan have never know a time when there was not war. Her eyes look so sad. I will definitely check out this book. V
