23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A day in peace, me in Gulbahar

This picture shows the beautiful nature and good weather in northern Afghanistan. This part of Parwan Province in northern Afghanistan, once devastated by Russian tanks and artillery, is now ready for farming and fertile land after years of war. And as an Afghan girl who has been deprived of her education and rights, my worries are eased a little by seeing this beautiful nature and the good weather.
