@Rian: Many thanks for your comment - they are brick kilns. Bricks are big business with all the new building in Kabul

with the piles of wood in the foreground, and the ladder... these could be ovens, to bake ... clay bricks ??

@Namaki: Yes, they are brick kilns - there will be a more conventional picture tomorrow - an earlier can be seen here http://scotfot.aminus3.com/portfolio/139.html
