I’ve always been well-received by local people during my budget travels. Muslim countries have a long tradition of hospitality to visitors. I’ve travelled in over 50 countries, but North Pakistan was definitely one of the most hospitable places I’ve been to.

It’s great to see old Bedfords again. This fabulous beast is a Peshawar city bus.

Peshawar, North Pakistan, May, 1996

I snapped this from the bus window as we scaled a high pass between Peshawar and Chitral.

Most of my photos taken between 1996 and 2000 were slides, as I was submitting them to a photgraphic agency in London for sale. So scans of reproductions to print, as here, are not great. I prefer to keep the best quality versions of my work away from the internet to protect my copyright.
