At the Arayu

Photographer: Eric Newby

Country: Afghanistan

Date: 1956

‘Here on the Arayu, one of the lonely places of the earth with all the winds of Asia droning over it, where the mountains seemed like bones of the world breaking through, I had the sensation of emerging from a country that would continue to exist more or less unchanged whatever disasters overtook
the rest of mankind' - A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush.
