Having visited the Buddha caves, sad to say, much of the paintings have been reduced to soot-laced remnants. I am just wondering, what conservation efforts are in the pipeline to salvage as much of these valuable arts as possible? I believe its a race against time, but one that may not get much priority, due to the situation in Afghanistan now.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468051501730484512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-18035165396263521472008-04-29T14:00:00.000+01:002008-04-29T14:00:00.000+01:00Wow those are amazing photos Indrani.
