Promise of Spring

Posted by Sojourner (Aqcha, Afghanistan) on 13 June 2007 in Landscape & Rural.

It gets pretty dry and hot here, but Spring, although brief, can be beautiful and full of promise (in the form of rain and a new start). I took this picture at a place called Kholm (or Tashkurkhan as it is called originally) as we drove through on our way to Aqcha. The air was heavy with the scent of the blossom on the trees. Wow!
