This is a sequence on the Bamiyan statues from “Adventure in Afghanistan” from my wife and I’s television travelogue series, “The Wild, the Weird, and the Wonderful.” To witness and climb these great buddhist statues were a pivotal part in my life, and I felt connected with those of the past. It is amazing what the ancient people were able to accomplish, what splendor they created out of rock, out of nothing.
