And she said come into my Arms

[Awais Yaqub]

:dunno And i was there, got tons of photos will post detailed journey later. Here is view of one the most beautiful lakes of Pakistan called Saif almluk

The lake is accessible by a 14 km jeep road from Naran. On foot, the trek from Naran to the lake takes about 4-6 hours. The water is clear with a slight green tone. The clarity of the water comes from the multiple glaciers all around the high basin feeding the lake which provides a good scenery. Malka Parbat that is shining in the lake is the biggest source.
It is speculated that an underground river empties into the lake; which is why its depth is unknown.

A fairy tale called Saiful Muluk, written by the famous sufi poet Mian Muhammad Bakhsh, is associated with the lake, which discuss a prince who fell in love with a fairy princess.

The impact of the lake beauty is of such extent that people believe that fairies come down to lake in full moon. (wikipedia)

It's ok, I'll be getting my 50mm soon. I'm sure that one will live on my camera until I get the appropriate 70-200mm and a macro tip. Here's hoping.

Good to see your slump wasn't a slump but a hiccough.

[jziegler]

WOW!

Looking forward to the journey thread.
