## Caption

Photo by simonnorfolkstudio / Just 12 weeks ago I was working in Afghanistan, and I've never seen a set of pictures become so redundant so fast. It seems like a dark tide has washed over this wonderful country and all the things I photographed, such as the restored Ikhtyaruddin Citadel, in Herat—part of a cultural heritage that's largely unknown outside Afghanistan. Follow me simonnorfolkstudio for updates and outtakes. #afghanistan #Ikhtiaruddin #Herat #culturalheritage #aftermath #hope
