another breathtaking view of Lake Saif-ul-Maluk, Naran…
where the local legend relates that Prince Saif-ul-Muluk fell in love with a fairy from the mountains…ahem One day he saw her bathing in the stream and crept up and stole her clothes
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/eek.gif
To preserve her modesty the not-so-reluctant fairy promised to be his wife
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/blush.gif
The fairy’s demon lover
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/devil.gif
appeared in time to see the happy pair together and in a fit of jealous rage flooded the entire valley
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/frown.gif
Some say that they have left the place, while others insist that in the still of the night they still come to dance
http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hula.gif
their revels on the grass and bathe themselves in the stream, and woe the mortal who encounters them.
maybe it is just a LeGeNd after all

All images From: The Travel Diary of Wee Keng Hor during His trip to NWFP-NP-Silk Road.
We happened to wander into an all-girls school in Gulmit during their recess. The girls rushed out to greet the strangers with a mix of excitement and shyness. They posed shyly but readily for the camera. Whenever we entered or left their classrooms, the whole class would stand up straight to pay respect to strangers like us.

oof I don't know where to begin - those are such wonderful pictures. Many thanks for sharing them. :) The brief captions with the images greatly helped.
Ones that have stayed in my mind are the image of the elderly lady staring down, the Darewar Fort, the Cholistan market, the children playing cricket in the field by the Shahi Masjid, the Badshahi Mosque, and the Kailash girl. The pictures of 'ordinary' people in Pakistan, particularly of the elderly man trying to sleep under the tree, hit so close to the heart.
Many many thanks for sharing.
Extraordinary effort by bro SkyWalker. I enjoyed them a lot. and going through them again and again. I really appreciate your effor. thanks a lot for sharing.
