Concluding my pictures of Pakistan

                                         Food stalls en route to Chitral. Flues just belched smoke into the atmosphere.

                                       Typical overloaded vehicle in Pakistan. At least this load was not as heavy as some.

                                  I even encountered a man supporting a huge log of wood in the back of a motorised trishaw.

                                               Colourful items such as balloons and toys were for sale on many road verges.

  

            Beautiful old façades behind webs of deplorable wiring in Mingora, Pakistan. This dangerous sight never ceased to amaze                         me.

                                     This scene could be any town in Pakistan, but at least one could negotiate the sidewalk.
