Afghanistan: Images From the Harrison Forman Collection Through 186 photos taken by journalist Harrison Forman in 1969, this site shows a country frozen in time. From the meticulous art of the Mosque of Hazrat Ali in Mazar-I-Sharif to the natural grandeur of the Hindu Kush Mountains, Afghanistan's beauty shines through. Looking at these images makes you wonder how much the country has changed after more than 30 years of war. The giant Buddha of Bamiyan statues were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and then, as now, Muslim women dress modestly. How have the people and the countryside survived? These evocative photos may spur you to do further research. (in Photography Exhibits)
