A powerful image, a reminder of how lucky some of us are not to be living with conflict and war.

This war may be is finished, but consequences are always there... how long this debris are going to stay there and how long for rebuilt houses ? A landscape of desolation but it's the Afghan reality and it's difficult for us to imagine leaving there, among these painfull memories; Powerful picture for waking up to the absurdity of the war.

@Evelyne Dubos: Many thanks for your comment. The worst debris are the many land mines, anti-personnel mines and unexploded ordinance in great variety. Most of the rough ground on the hills are mined though they are usually clearly marked by stones painted half red/half white. Red side = mines, white side = clear!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

Is it time to put all weapons on the scrap heap.

This picture shows us what a waste of money and resources instruments of death are. There must be a better way.
