Band-e Amir photos

A few pics from my recent trip to Band-e Amir.

I swam in that lake at the back there, Band-e Panir, a lake of cheese. And got a round of applause from the Afghan guys nearby for diving in. Oh yeah.

It’s with photos I often find my vague attempt at being anonymous most annoying, as I can’t show you the really cool ones of us pottering about in a pink peddello.

    Absolutely stunning.

    I’m sure the pink peddello is, too.

    Cut it out, Harry. This is just mean.

    I swam in a lake of cheese once, in Switzerland. People think cheese comes from cows or sheep. Little known fact: it doesn’t. It all comes from one big lake a few miles south of Zurich. That’s why the Swiss are so anal about immigrants entering their country (apologies to the Swiss, who, let it be said, do put on a mean cheese fondue).

    Wonderful photos. Do they still have those strange plastic swan-shaped peddellos floating about there?

    Tee hee.

    Dude – your photography skills are getting sharp. Beautiful colours and contrasts. I would however have loved to see you peddling about in a pink swan…
