Excellent, great work Tim. I've never visited Kashmir but your gallery illustrates why Kashmir is the most beautiful place on Earth (I'm originally from Kashmir and look forward to visiting both AK and the occupied areas some time)

These are very unique and beautiful images. They must be taken by a professional. I appreciate for your dedication in making good nature into better images. Keep producing other images. Thanks.

Darakhshan		16-Oct-2006 05:33
Mesmerizing, I love the way the music and the pictures melt together! Excellent job, my motherland looks so beautiful, yet the poignancy shows...these pictures left me with a smile and a haunting sadness. Thank you for this and may God bless you for your perception(if you believe in God, if not may you be blessed!)

ViBHAS		08-Oct-2006 15:14
hey,look at the georgeous pictures and find out for yourselves why was bolly wood so crazy about shooting movies in kashmir.People who still are Anti Indian should realise that this is just a religious manuplation by pakistan that has lead them to such a devestation in the valley.The sufi culture of kashmir has given way to violence and blood shed.Look at the POK and see the torture of democracy.No one even knows that place with almost no development.Let sanity prevail in our mind and those who are Pro pakistan see through the sinister designs of evil enemy.

I am a Kashmiri Hindu (Pandit) .. it is really amazing to revisit the place thru some one else eyes. And may god never forgive those people because of whome I had to leave the Heaven on earth. I really hope things become better in Kashmir and I can go back to the home where I spend my childhood. Thanks for capturing the BEAUTIful images of Kashmir and sharing with everyone.. Next time you want to visit kashmir: mail me and I will tell you "the beautiful" places you should surely go..
