Flow of the Sholgar River in Spring

Springtime in Balkh Province in Afghanistan and the Sholgar River is in full flow leaving the mountains carrying the snow melt. The legend I heard was that the brick-built bridge was constructed by a woman baker in days long past to increase her volume of trade. I believe it - at least I believe there is some basis of truth to the tale.
