From Kabul to Skauser via Khanadad, Faizabad, Jurum and Hazarat Sayeed

These are the unedited photographs that I had scanned several years ago. I was concerned about continued deterioration due to mold and loss of colour. Theses photographs are reduced quality. The original photographs are of higher quality ie detail density.

One of the many things I find amazing is how one can now go to:

and see where we walked and see the names of the villages.

If you find these photographs of interest, could you leave a comment in the box below for this gallery and below each photograph?
