This is one of my favourite photos of all time. It's a famous one, I think from Time magazine. It's a young Afghan girl from the eighties.

I can just see the mods racing to bury this photo...

I can't see why, unless your last unnecessary sentence provokes a response that turns into a load of name-calling
It is a beautiful picture

It just seems the photos disappear down a black hole somewhere. No problem with that, just wish they'd do it after a couple of days to give folk who aint seen these photos a chance to see them. I'd like to think that there are young kids seeing these photos and they might, just might develop a liking of their history.

Ha, who am I kidding...

Can I suggest you you click on my stuff(yours) and look at your posts and make a list of which pictures have disappeared and pm Mark (who may be unaware that they've gone) and he will look into it and tell you why.
Please keep posting your pics. there have been some really good ones.

Bloody disheartening when they go so fast

Beautiful picture indeed. Keep posting.

I think you will find that they are not 'disappearing', just being sorted into the correct running threads. Each time one is moved a pointer (black arrow on the left of the post) remains for ten days which takes you to the new location of the picture

brill pic very haunting i think,

please don't stop your great pics , what a loss to the site that would be .

I stopped posting them a few times now cos they were going so fast. I want to encourage the younger folk to see them

I love the old pics of Wirral, the latest one's of New Brighton are fascinating, especially seeing where the pier and ferry used to be :0)

'That' picture above Pablo is beautiful. Stunningly beautiful.

Have you got her on your wall somewhere?

Mods don't remove photos.
Click

No, I seen it, in I'm sure it was Time magazine. It won loads of awards. I was in Afghanistan in the eighties and it always reminded me of that time

In that case you should have her on your wall

They found the girl in this picture not so long ago and used eye technology to prove it was her, the change in her was amazing would be good if somebody could upload the new picture.

i remember a tv program who went back to Afghanistan to find this girl and im sure they did

Just found this Pablo.It was on the cover of Nationan Geographic. Here's a link.

Sharbat Gula (Pashto: شربت ګله) (pronounced [ˈʃaɾbat]) (born ca. 1972) is an Afghan woman who was the subject of a famous photograph by journalist Steve McCurry. Gula was living as a refugee in Pakistan during the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan when she was photographed. The image brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old. Gula was known throughout the world simply as "the Afghan Girl" until she was formally identified in early 2002. The photograph has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa[1][2] and is sometimes popularly referred to as "the Afghan Mona Lisa".[
