These beautiful photographs by Pakistanis will give you hope for 2017
2016 has been a year like no other. We were blown away by the breathtaking pictures we have seen day in and day out from our amazing followers on Instagram.
In the last week of the year, we asked our followers to send their top shot along with the reason why they chose it; their words provide the captions that accompany their photos below.
From the thousands of entries we received through #DawnTopShot2016, here are some of the best pictures of the year — curated from photographers on our Instagram account.
'Sufi musician' by @rollingstone16:
"Taking a walk near Badshahi Masjid, on the food street I saw this artist singing a sufi number I can't recall but I totally found it mesmerizing. I kept thinking of so many artists that do not get exposure and they are just left to entertain people on the streets."
