Rhapsody in white

Posted by Natalia (Kabul, Afghanistan) on 22 October 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

once, while visiting remote villages, our vehicle got stuck in the mud. We were literally up to its belly sunk in that clay. We feared that we are going to spend a night in the middle of nowhere. All, of sudden a white dot in the horizon appeared. And it became closer and closer. This woman in white burqa looked so incredible, like a mirage... It somehow reminded me of Gershwin's rhapsody in blue.
