A lake bluer than the sky.

Drive for hours overs dusty mountain roads and your brought to Afghanistan’s only national park. Band-e-amir is a series of deep blue lakes nestled amidst limestone canyons. This is Afghanistan’s Grand Canyon, truly a sight inspiring of awe.
Weather is worth traveling through Taliban territory to get here is entirely another question.
Pictures tell the story although sadly fail to do it justice.

Carl,
So glad to see your shots – honestly the one with the boats (all perfectly aligned) is absolutely insane. I think you should submit this to national geographic or a photo magazine. The colours are exquisite…
Can’t wait to catch up on the goss.
Cheers, Matt
