Another...

beautiful photo of the Pakistani landscape. You have everything in this photo; blue sky, green rolling hills, a river and a bridge.
Great shot, Afzal,
cheers,
Marc

Re: Another...

Thank you very much for your kind words about my photo. Set 13000 feet above sea level, covered with deep snow and ice for more than half the year, the desolate Deosai Plains, atop the pass, stretch for more than 19 kilometers. Weather changes are sudde. Storms below up in seconds and the deceptive calm of blu sky suddenly becomes a screaming maelstrom of roaring winter blizzard or icy summer winds and rain or hail. But on a clear day there's a dramatic view of the Pamir knot's major southern buttress, Nanga Parbat, the second highest mountain of Pakistan, it's the westernmost anchor of the Great Himalaya range that curves like a scimitar more than 2500 kilometers across the subcontinent from Nanga Parbat in the west to Myanmar in the east.
Best regards, Afzal
