Mount Khakraiz Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is top of Mount Khakraiz the highest mountain in Jaghoori, Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. It overlooks almost 50% of all Jaghoori surrounding it. The height of this mountain can be seen from the yesterdays picture (CheilBaghto)--the highest mountain that can be seen in front. The village that seems behind is the CheilBaghto Pashi Hazara tribe. In foreground two Flouring stone can be seen. It is said that in the past there was a Flour Mill here run by air. Remains of horse stable are also apparent here as well. This mountain was very famous in wild grasses, bushes, plant and jungle but now almost barren due to excess of Green House Gasses on the globe calling “Save me, save me, save me of suffocation”.

Excellent shot you have here. The composition is very good with the two man on the right and a superb view behind them. For that reason the POV could not be better. The sun light at the middle of the day is not really the best but sometimes we can not do otherwise. Well done.

Hello Dr.
I like this capture better than the current one you have posted. The men make your shot more interesting - a fill flash may have given us a look at their faces and improved the picture. Thanks for posting this capture and the fine notes.
