Ways of Leaving

This evening a contingent of soldiers left for Kabul. Below are some photos from that event. It was, as might be imagined, a pretty emotional evening. That was, however, cut with the administrative task of clearing the soldiers on their way. In one of the photos, a green curtain can be seen cutting mid-frame. This curtain divided the families from the troops until the clearing out was done.

All in all, it was a slightly off-kilter process that I nonetheless felt thankful to be invited to.
