Why with each picture Dawn mentions 'Pakistani'. It is understood that most people will be Pakistani. If someone is from outside Pakistan, they should mention the place of origin of the person. Thanks

I visited Murree some 20 years ago.. Nice to see some colorful umbrellas (and garbage pile) but I'd like to see more landscape pictures. The sad part is even after all this time the pile of garbage is still there and ripped up road in the middle of bazaar. Come on.. please develop this beautiful city and make it an international tourist attraction.
