View of Tarbela Dam

Tarbela Dam on the Indus River in Pakistan is the largest earth filled dam in the world and second largest by structural volume. It is located in Haripur District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, about 50 kilometres northwest of Islamabad. The large reservoir of the dam submerged 135 villages, which resulted in displacement of a population of about 96,000 people.(Taken from Wikipedia)
This Picture includes only a small portion of the huge and giant Terbela Dam.


Mini Water Fall

In this snap I had captured a tiny water fall in the Narha Amazai, Haripur. Which is situated in Khyber Pakhtunkhaw, the northern province of Pakistan. The water fall is found due to heaving rains in the month of the Savan (Weather of rain, stretching from mid July to mid September.) You can enjoy the lush greens of the are also.


An Unsung Painter

These snap shots are of land scape paintings painted by a school teacher of a for off area of Shingri village, district Haripur, province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Our painter naming Mr Shamsher is Senior drawing teacher in Government run public school. He is also an acting Incharge of the Govt. Middle School Shingrhi. He is also having problems because one of his legs is not in order and he is brought in and brought back to school on motorcycle by his son.
When I inquired him about his painting (which were displayed in school office and classrooms) he said that "When I joined this school a single classrooms had a single chart or demonstration about syllabus like most schools of this area. In this situation a bought paint and hardboard costing about 500 pkr about 5$ and started painting to decorate my school."
Some of the his paintings are landscapes among the educational charts which I had captured with my cell's camera and are given below for you to watch and appreciate.
