Rawalpindi from Margalla Hills Pakistan

It’s not about religion. This is a guise. It is about poverty and power and misled people. Religion isn’t for that.

This is the final photos with audio before she was assasinated. I’ve been to Pakistan several times previously (see photos here) and have seen Rawalpindi from the mountains above Islamabad as it is only a few kilometers away.

Some incredible photographs. The one above is also a textbook example of depth of field in photography.

However, not to be outdone by Sports Illustrated, the two photos below are ones I took at an obedience trial in Calgary in the summer of 2006.
