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!

Hi Diana
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition with great colours.
Shame those from Afghanistan have to cause so much trouble... Should never have been allowed to rule a country!
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Having taught English language to Hazara Afghan refugees here and having heard many first hand accounts from those people's dealing with the Taliban I'm also concerned about their future. Thankyou for for going there and telling/showing us Diana.

A great capture of washing as hard work. Sadly, so many of the world's problems involve religious extremists. Big huggss, Diana.
