We went to the night lake tour after setting up our camps.

While i and Ch. saab were busy in photography, the other team members were getting ready to sleep and before that ... some last poses of the night

The last shot taken of the day was actually after midnight around 1: 36 a.m.

Then we all went to sleep or should i say for myself, i tired to sleep but no success.

The reason was ..... i wanted to go out again before dawn for another attempt on milkyway as moonset was well before sunrise so there was some chance

Time started to pass slowly and people around me switched on snoring motors

I tried best to sleep but couldn't and i knew from that time now the only chance to sleep was at the end of day 3

I got out of the camp again at 4:33 a.m. and it was very very coldddddd.

Got my camera out and setup the whole thing for another go but the moment i got out i knew there was no milkyway.

The moon was setting on one side with still some light on horizon while dawn blue was already on east horizons

First view with Orion constellation in the middle

This shot pretty much concluded the session for me

Malika Parbat still shining in moonlight while blue dawn already so strong on eastern horizon. But what we saw and captured in moonlight had its own charm and fun though we couldn't find any fairies

WoW!!! The last shot really reflects the time of the Nite. Is it really a true Jitter Scaling your Tiredness or is it due to the fact that you were travelling over 1000miles/hour....lol

  Anyway, it is wonderful seeing young Pakistani chaps preferring wilderness over daily comfort/luxury and camping in extreme weather. Seems like they all are very close to tying the final/finale knot of their lives...lol. do not forget senior PW's suggestions...

hehe thx a lot sir

Its neither of the two. Infact, a very slow, quiet and peaceful moment of early dawn where i waited for the cam to track movement of the stars for 35 seconds at aprox. 14x zoom

Well 4 out of 6 knots are already tied up but our better halves are quite co-operative in support of such adventures
