God’s Canvas
The roads may be dug up and replete with noisy traffic, sidewalks and beaches littered, parks anything but green but the skies in Karachi always make for a feast for eyes who care to look up ever now and then.
Be it sunsets at the far end of horizon where the ocean and skies embrace…
or the sun setting behind the hills that half the Karachiites don’t even know exist…
or clouds announcing rain’s on its way…
or lack thereof…
Wouldn’t you wish you had something more than a VGA camera to capture God’s artwork on film.
*happy waala sigh* : )
Major reason for loving Karachi: spectacular sunrises and sunsets. : )
I still have the wish to see this on spot but whenever i come to karachi, its work work & work OR traffic jams / rains / missed flights and rolling on air port :P
Karachi has the pottential to become a mordern city in the world.
Due to so much construction going on everywhere, these sunset and sunrise scenes can only be seen at beaches.
yeah i stopped to admire the wonderful sky once but the carwalas behind me on shara-e-faisal became furious so i had to stop admiring and drove away….
talk abt insensitivity….
stupid roadrage…..

Breathtaking and serene is the beauty of Nature’s Canvas.
what a pleasantly refreshing post for a change…
With all the chaos and confusiion that is inherently a part of any mega-city, these pictures remind us that if we take the time to pause and smell the roses, there is beauty to be found all around us.
Beautiful.
Why the heck do we not see such great posts? Instead we have bear crap coming in from unaiza? LOVELY post Sid!! You should post some more (PLEASE!!!)
Though its been ages that I visited Karachi I think that the beauty above provides a wonderful contrast to the dirt within and around.

Her cheez may Quran kee aayaat Daalnay kee kyaa zaroorat hae?
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You’re frozen
When your heart’s not open
You’re so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You’re broken
When your heart’s not open
