Paghman Gardens was laid out in the 1920s
This saddening and thought-provoking image brings together two photographs made forty years apart. The first, by a Denver professor on sabbatical, is of his two daughters in Paghman Gardens. The second is by Jon Nyswonge, is of the same spot as it is now.
Bill Podlich’s 1966 photographs of Afghanistan are online here, as part of an archive maintained by his daughter.
