Subject: [Leica] IMGS: Gathering at Qarabagh, Afghanistan

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.
