Kabul River Bridge
Photos of Afghanistan - by Will Kemp

A wide river bed, with the much narrower channel forking as it flows under the bridge.
The Kabul river rises to the west of Kabul. It flows through that city and out to the east, dropping nearly 1000m through the Sooroobi pass. It passes through Jalalabad and then forms part of the border with Pakistan, near the Khyber Pass, and eventually joins the Indus and ends up flowing into the Arabian Sea, Near Karachi. This is a view of the river from a bridge in Qarghayee district, Laghman province, roughly 100km east of Kabul.
