An Afghan man enjoys a sunny day at a swimming pool in Kabul on April 28, 2010. Afghanistan has commemorated the 1992 toppling of a Soviet-backed regime, which led to bloody civil war and arguably to the rise of the Taliban, as the capital Kabul went under security lockdown.

Fellow editor Jim Seida pointed out this picture to me. I like its surreal quality where you don't know where the man is coming from, or where he's going.
