Kabul, Afghanistan

A boy taking rest from hunting kites in Kabul's Nadir Shah tomb area. If you catch a falling kite you can sell it back to vendor that provides kites for their runners. That makes a large group of children run through cemetery, over which kites are flown, competing in catching them. December 2010, Kabul, Afghanistan.

Home to 5 mln Afghans, scene to some of the most brutal warfare of XX century, when Hezb--e-Islami, Massoud and Hazara militias fought between themselves for the domination in Afghanistan, city under Taleban rule between 1996-2001, city under Soviet rule between 1979-1989. The city of grey.
