Gallery - The HinduKush

Photos taken during flights over the vast HinduKush mountains in Afghanistan.
This mountainrange is a part of the enormous Himalaya that stretches from China all the way through Central Asia.

Mountainous sunset	Sunset over Afghanistan	Ridges West of Kholm	Late afternoon... approaching Kabul
The rooftop of the world just at the tip of my fingers		A few clouds holding up over the summit	Not a place to get stranded...
In the afternoon sun		Icy peaks	Rock formations
	Small village....		Wall of rock and snow
The roof of the world under our wings		Where a river begins...	Just under the top of the world
Turning over the HinduKush		From valley to summit	Sun over the mountains
