Re: Pakistan
Wow. Beautiful, amazing, awesome, out of this world!
Great job buddy! So many pictures at once. Must have taken a lot of time to put together.
Really appreciate all your effort. Some pictures are new and I am really digging them.
One suggestion is to please separate each item with a dotted line or something.
I was having a hard time figuring out which picture goes with which description.
The TV shows Adventure Unlimited on PTV Global and Safar Hai Shart on Express are doing a great job exploring the Northern Areas.
