Milky Way spotted in Pakistan

Hi folks ! during my visit to northern areas of Pakistan, i spotted Milky Way. It was a breathtaking view. Like billions of stars worshiping planet earth. People who don't know what Milky Way is, well it is cluster of planets and stars billions of them. Our planet earth is located in it. It appears like hazy substance on night sky. In urdu it is called "Kehkashan". These were shot using Canon Digital SLR camera and 17-40L, 100mm lens.

Sorry for low resolution version and watermarking, Newspaper thieves and advertsing agencies never show mercy stealing work of young growing artists. This is delimma of Pakistani creative market. Sorry once again i either don't like water marking but have to be on safer side.
