This place is called "Pir Gaib" an oasis in rocky mountains of Bolan pass between Quetta (1850 meters A S L) and Sibi which is at sea level. The temperature in Quetta was below 0*C and after 1 hour drive down hill it became +27*C.
There are many beautiful waterfalls as well.

Beautiful shot and I did a little change through PS but as this was not allowed by workshop so I could not post my workshop..

I love the subject of this picture, I thought theese oasis only existed in stories and movies. I love the contrast between the colourless and dry landscape and the lush, green palmtrees and the water.
Amazing colour of the water! I have tried a workshop for you, I think you still can improve this pic. If you will allow workshops I will send it to you.
Welcome to TE!

That is my idea of an oasis, a waterfall in a small beautiful pond surrounded by palm trees. I surely never thought it could be found in Pakistan. Some adjustement of the color levels could make it more stunning.
