Aesthetic Value, Mainly

I cruise Yahoo News Photos most days looking for striking or newsworthy images. Sometimes there are pictures so beautiful that I can’t resist sharing them (the recent Miss World competition comes to mind). This shot of a balloon vendor in Kabul is lovely, I think. There may be a moral here; balloons were illegal under the Taliban, I suppose. But the photo’s aesthetic value is what really struck me.
