After we left heavy-hearted our camp site called Sokhtarabad due to cold weather and ineptitude of our group leader, Mr. Tanwir, we were advised by this man, Mr. Azizullah, that we catch some local fish by hand. So we all gathered around and saw him catch lot of small fish. He appeared very expert in his trade and had lot of fun doing it. I was impressed. This is my favorite photograph of him.

Walking ahead, after shooting madrassah girls in their madrassah, I found this exceedingly beautifully placed suspended, wooden bridge over Shandur river. I immediately took the photograph. I must remind my readers that it is a relatively new bridge and not an old one. The clouds give an additional colour to the frame.
