Asslam o Alikum
I am back here with travelling and photography, I did last trip in March 2011 and after that I left travelling and photography even I had chances to visit Naran Valley and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Although I did not recover properly mentally, spiritually and emotionally but my love and my kids dragged me back to life. So, I am here again.

This picture was taken on the Track of Saif-ul-Mulok Lake-Naran, when we were climbing down towards Naran village on 2nd day of Eid, on 8th November 2011.
My wife, son (Feeman Ali) and daughter (Ashna Elahi) was also with me.
We paid a visit to Naran Valley from 4th November 2011 to 11th November 2011. it was my first family tour to mountain valley.

Story:
I daily visit the Lawrence Garden Lahore, before I join my office/university, on 23rd June I was on my routine deadly slow walk in the Lawrence, I was walking through bamboos and this head of the dead crow was 'ready for photo shot'. So, how could I avoid to click for the baby. So I did. I don't like this shot and I can't stare even for a single minute. Can you?

It was second trekking trip of Feeman Ali (my son), first he made in September 2009 and he was on the Mukshpuri Top, and this time it was snow trekking in Kashmir Valley. He was in the snowy meadows of Sudhan Gali in Bagh district of Kashmir. At the age of six years and three months, he has good stamina to explore mountains, although he feels fatigue on return. But its enough that he enjoys trekking while scaling upwards. I myself love to ascending, descending is ever panic for me.
Love you FEEMAN
