Taken on a busy bus station in the heart of Quetta.
Quetta (کویتہ) is the capital of the province Balochistan in Pakistan. The spelling of 'Quetta' is an erroneous English derivation from kwatta meaning 'fort' in the Pushtu language. Quetta is also known as the "fruit garden" of Pakistan. It is located in the densely populated Quetta District, which lies in the northeast of the province, and is situated in a river valley near the Afghani border, with a road to Kandahar in the northwest.
Quetta has a population of more than 2 million. The city is dominated by a Pashtun majority and a Balochi minority with an eclectic smattering of smaller groups. Pushto, Balochi, Persian (Hazaragi dialect), Brahui, Sindhi, Punjabi and Urdu languages are spoken in large parts of Quetta, giving the city a very multicultural feel. |

Great capture of daily life. Very sharp and great colors. Really nice but the missing feet are kind of bothersome.
A beautiful daily life shot.With nice depth.
