Church Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

while meandering in nathia gali, I came across this beautiful & highly maintain church in a muslim country ( that is, Pakistan), I couldn't resist capturing it.

This is situated right on a road that leads to the Governor's house. I kept wondering that Pakistan is projected as a fanatic & extremist country in the world, whereas looking at this highly maintained & strategically located church, you can hardly believe that.

Good church to take a shot. There are a few details to consider to improve a picture in the same place. Try to have all the church in this picture you miss the upper part. The other point is the light post, maybe you could work the picture in the photoshop and crop the left part.
But i like it anyway.

I have seen this church myself when i was in nathia gali last year.
Good to clear the image of Pakistan as you have written.

Hi Suleman
Well cpatured and good composition. The white snow contrasted the wooden color of the church.
Yeah, noticed from your notes. Well, surely it's quite difficult ot believe.
Peace for all.
Well done.

Hello Suleman
I think your combination of photo and note is very good. It is refreshing to have your comment on the political World situation through the thoughts this mountain church gave you.
Best wishes Erling

It is quite unbelievable! You really shake many people's prejudice about Pakistan. Maximum points for the educational part of the story.
About the photo itself ...hm-m-m ...imagine mosque photo with the minaret cropped out:-) The lamp post is not complimenting the nicely captured wooden texture.

wonderful posting of a church in a predominantly muslim pakistan! the snow-covered boulders on the foreground give an added charm. i would have not cropped the church's belfry, tho.
