Afghanistan - strange world

early on Saturday after meeting with Theriak I passed by the Paul-Loebe house. The Paul Loebe house is one of the houses of parliament in Berlin, where deputies and committee offices, and meeting rooms are located. It is adjacent to the Reichstag building and a stone's throw across the river Spree from new main train station. Through the large glass facade can be seen in the basement of the building stunning photos from Afghanistan, but unfortunately the house was closed on Saturday.
Yesterday, I am purely by chance came by - I had just missed my train to Eberswalde - and lo and behold: the house was open, the issue still to be considered for exactly one day and I had my identity card there. "The more you need in Berlin", the security officer did the two less fortunate to report from me, who could identify not.
But I was in the middle of Berlin a short traveling to the Hindu Kush, in this amazing landscape of high mountains and deep Gorges, vast, empty plains and in narrow valleys compressive villages and towns.
The exhibition's theme was "The Bundeswehr in a different world - Pictures of Afghanistan" and so has not failed to mention providing what services the armed forces and the ISAF forces: medical aid, reconstruction of villages, schools, water supply, education .
But the more intriguing were the unique landscapes and large portraits of men, women and children.
Pictures of New Year 'Nau-Roz', which is celebrated in March, and the wild riders Buzkashi game are shown in which the riders - the group can be as large - try a dead goat on the huge field to pick up in the desert and taken before the judges. Rapidly!
The exhibition was truly a unique experience. Unfortunately, today is the last day. So I was really lucky.
Who wants to see pictures can take a look at the press of the Historical Museum of Speyer a zip file (at the bottom of the page, 7 MB) with pictures of the photographer Helmut Schulze. It's not all pictures in the exhibition, my favorites are also present, but the images are still fascinating, for example equal to the first "Blue Lakes". Perhaps the images are
yes but also once again shown elsewhere. Worth a visit this exhibition for sure! Yet another
