This arch celebrates a military victory of King Amanullah in the War of Independence in 1919. Today it used as a park. On the holiday boys are flying kites a popular sport in Afghanistan.This was one of the activities banned by the Taliban.

A family was having a picnic in the park. I always respected the privacy of the women who prefer not to be photographed. That is why so few pictures of women are in this story. However, one of the men the family asked me to take this picture.
