Boys stand on the steps above the partially restored Babur Gardens, or Bagh-i-Babur, Kabul, Afghanistan, September 12, 2002.The once lush gardens were heavily damaged by the factional fighting of the mujihadeen in the 1990's and later by the Taliban, but are now being carefully restored and replanted. The Babur Gardens (Baghe Babur), were created in the 1500's by the founder of the Moghul dynasty, Babur. Babur was buried in the gardens in 1540. (KEYSTONE/CAVAN IMAGES/Beth Wald)
