Ruined Office Building, Kabul

Description
This former governmental building is located at Darul Aman, close to the famous Darul Aman Palace, from where Afghan kings used to rule the country. A decent touch of former noblesse still catches the viewer, when standing in front. Yet, the appearance of this ruin is a tragic reminder of the extended and fierce fighting in Kabul.
