Don't feed the animal

'Don't feed the animal' were Alex famous first words after he woke up from my camera’s flashlight.

The picture was taken two days ago in the guesthouse ‘Roof of Bamiyan’ after an exhausting but spectacular trip from Kabul to Bamiyan. Bamiyan is famous for its caves and its two giant Buddhas. As we all know the two Buddhas were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.

However, it is said that a third Buddha, the sleeping Buddha, is not yet excavated. As the picture shows we seem to follow the right trail. Only the relation or is it an incarnation to the 'animal' is not quite clear.
