3-hour walk with our dog Hana. Mujahed smuggling anti-tank mines at night across the border mountains from Pakistan to Afghanistan's Paktia Province, August 1984. Afghans on Peiwar Pass on the border between Paktia Province / Afghanistan and Kurram Agency tribal area in Pakistan, in August 1984, with smuggled wooden beams, on their way east. Camel carrying smuggled wooden beams past war ruins from Jaji / Zazi area in Afghanistan's Paktia Province towards the Pakistani border in August 1984. In the background looms Spin Gahr, also know as Sikaram or Safed Koh (white mountain), 4,755 meters asl. Two volunteer mercenaries I took with me to Afghanistan on my last trip with mujahideen in October 1987: Eugenio from Italy, left, with eyepatch (lost one eye to a stray bullet), and Jacques, a former French Legionnaire in Chad and other places. I ran into them in Peshawar as they were becoming desperate to find a group that would take them -- so I went with them to my contact 'Engineer' Es Haq and lied to him that they were journalists like me (just to help them out). Another shot of Aphrodite's rock -- Petra Tou Romiou -- in Cyprus, where the goddess is said to have risen from the sea foam. Photo October 2016. #cyprustourism Karachi street scene, Pakistan, August 1984. See the bird on the right. Shah Faisal Mosque, Islamabad, 1987. I used to walk up into the Margalla Hills behind the mosque. Really enjoyed those walks. The shop/house where my wife grew up, in Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu Island, Japan. Photo summer 1987.
