I have often been impressed by how beautiful much of Afghanistan is. There are places in Wardak that would be fantastic ski resorts, a shame really.

No no! No tourists or western culture, it will ultimately destroy their land. McDonals on every corner is not what I mean by Afghan beauty...

That second photo looks like broad daylight -- but it can't be coz they're still using their NVGs. Enhanced starlight?

It's a setting on the camera. On the more expensive cameras, you can set the manually set the amount of exposure on the photo. This is why the photo is a little blurry. When you set the camera like this, it takes the camera longer to take the picture. Any slight movement while it is taking the picture will blur the picture.
