Laundry

Laundry
Up in the minority ethnicity Kalash villages, right on the Afghan border, life goes on as it always has. This woman, in her daily dress..traditional Kalash, pounds the laundry in the water channel of snow melt running by her home. Although in Pakistan this is a dangerous spot. We have been a couple of times and not long after this visit, insurgents came across the Afghan border and committed acts of violence in this village. They wish the locals to convert from their traditional beliefs to hard line Islam.
It is a very remote area of the world, hard to get to, but so very interesting.
I am glad to live in a safe place..and to have a washing machine!

A scene that effectively shows us the customs of a backward world distant from ours.
They are interesting but also dangerous places....be careful!
Warm greetings
