Winter in Kabul

Winter in Afghanistan means hardship for many, but it also has it's own charm: the sky turns blue, smog disappeares, the mountain ranges that embrace Kabul all of a sudden appear out of the usual smog, water in the river washes away the usual dirt, children and adults (including my staff members) use free time in between work and school to have a quick snowball fight... It's strange, but winter also seems to bring some normality into town, besides the hardship it brings along for so many.
