Open-Air Market, Kābul
This open-air market in the Afghan capital of Kābul specializes in songbirds. Keeping caged birds and bird fighting, a popular pastime in Afghanistan, were forbidden under the Taliban regime, but this market reopened shortly after the Taliban were ousted from power in late 2001.
