On the Edge of Humanity 2 of 2

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 13 November 2007 in Transportation and Portfolio.

A friend of mine just has just returned from his temporary work in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where he worked as a surgeon in a military field hospital. They operated upon far more civilians and chidlren than military people. Here you see ambulances arrive at the entrance of the hospital. The spots you see are dust particles which give the picture a special atmosphere. You can feel the tension in the postures of the waiting staff. Will they manage to let the passengers survive and / or how will they survive? My friend reported about the very, very disappointing failures and how they couldn't allow mourning about them because the next patient was waiting.

I couldn't help to interrupt my series of fall sceneries for 2 of his pictures he has sent to me be e-mail from Afghanistan, he agreed that I put the pictures on this blog. The stories he told with the pictures I will translate and publish in due time on my textblog.
