The Way I See It
Islamabad, as never seen before

Islamabad, as never seen before

I have had to go to Margalla hills and then hike just to capture the sunrise.

Here I take you through a visual journey of Islamabad never seen before. For some of these photos I have had to go to Margalla hills and then hike just to capture the sunrise. On a clear day with some clouds the views of sunrise and sunset are stunning.

Waqas | 8 years ago | Reply An extremely one sided view of the city dear sir. Is beauty just the nature around you or are the people just as important a part of city life? I agree that the countryside and the weather bestowed on the people of the city are breathtaking but I would never settle for it for the elitist culture that the city lives and breathes.
