An Afghan labourer works on producing concrete defence barriers in Kabul November 8, 2009. A kilometre-long stretch of the road is lined with family concrete barrier businesses, stacked as far as the eye can see with row upon row of freshly made, 2-metre-wide wall sections, like tombstones in a vast graveyard for giants. With security worsening and tens of thousands of American troops arriving this year, business has been brisk for concrete blast barriers. Picture taken November 8, 2009.
