Newly built Pakistan Monument

Awais Yaqub · April 30, 2007

Well Islamabad is considered most boring city of Pakistan yet it's beautifull and clean then any other cities of Pakistan
Islamabad is short of historic architecture like other part of Pakistan so we have nothing to show to foregnors visiting Islamabad only Shah Faisal Mosque or a small hill station so Musharaf wanted something nice so he built this.
4 shapes shows 4 states of Pakistan and there is carving of famous historic spots. Well this is where wide angle lens is missed :wink
All hand held sony H5

walking distance from my house can go shooting anytime :ivar

Hey Awis, those last two are very nicely composed with great lighting

Really love the last two Awais, the lighting just got better as you progressed through your shots. I think you did exceptionally well with the tools you have!

I like the moon one!

I also like how you tell story with your photos, Awais, it's always an education.

Wow Awais, I love how that building reaches to the sky.

That last shot with the carvings on the walls more visible is my favourite.

What an interesting piece of architecture.
Thanks for sharing......... Skippy

Awais, very beautiful and nicely captured! I would love to see the whole building and what it looks like from outside next time you have the opportunity.

My favorite is #3, I'm a sucker for moon shots. I love the detail in this spires, could definitely be worth a re-shoot with a bit more light. Very nice, Awais.
