Looking North into Nuristan from Kalagush
Are there guerrillas in the mist?
We also worked with the Alingar District, Laghman Province.

I'll string this together with some more pictures soon. There are a couple of stories to tell here, including the scene of Smokey Jackalacker's encounter with the Hyena Of Doom and the place where I saw Nighttime In Shades Of Green.
Those mountains have a stark beauty all their own. Yet, they can be brutal on men and equipment as well.

I've been to these places. was back in late 06 in december early jan 07. i had completely forgotten but your pictures reminded me. i'm guessing that you stopped in the methar lam prt on the way to kalagush. i was in the valley to the west of the alingar the alishang for about 5 months. thanks for reminding me of a place i had forgotten amazing how those things are forgotten over time..
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the mountains of Alaska and northern Canada.
