Afghanistan In The 1960s. Prepare To Be Very, Very Surprised.

In the 1960s, Dr. William Podlich took these pictures (and a LOT more) of Kabul, Afghanistan. I couldn't believe what a beautiful and vibrant place it was before being torn apart by more than 30 years of war.

Not surprised. I have read books about how lush, beautiful and thriving this area was. Wasn't the Kite Runner centered on growing up in Kabul before and after the fall?
