Clear day

Clearest day so far. Tends to be hazy all summer due to the "Wind of 120 Days" and the dust. We've had rain three times and a snowfall so the dust is down and the wind is less. This looks northeast towards the more mountainous parts of Afghanistan. The snow-capped area is about 40 miles distant. The average altitude in the country is 6000 feet above sea level. The extreme eastern end of the country includes the Hindu Kush range of the Himalayas. There the altitude rises to over 24000 feet. Kabul is at 6000 feet. We're at 3500.
