Astounding, if utterly depressing, pictures of Kabul
From the brilliant Skyscraper City comes this set of photos of the Afghan capital. The pictures were taken by Gavin Oliver and displayed as part of a series on the world’s most polluted cities. I think these images show that this most accursed of towns has gone beyond being merely ‘polluted’ to basically being hell on earth. Not that you’d know that by looking at the beautiful picture of the city directly below. Despair and ugliness do have a habit of making very good pictures…

Yeah, T, I think you're probably right. 'Polluted' is maybe erring on the side of 'classic english understatement'...
