Very nice. Beauty does seem more profound when found in the midst of the bleak. Cheers.

You are right. We need only eyes to see it with though, so we don't take it for granted.

Yes! That's just the kind of beauty to be found here in Ghor - amidst the harshness and desolation, little touches of wonderful beauty.
