City by the Night, Photogram, 8" x 12"

This particular photogram is a depiction of Lahore's skyline in the night during the festival of Basant. During the festival, Lahore's sky lights up and there are kites flying everywhere, with blaring music, scrumptious food and full of life people on every roof top.



The Walled City 1, Print (etching), 6" x 3"

The Walled City of Lahore, is the best area to experience the true spirit of Basant. The closely knitted area is always booming with life, be it Basant or any other day of the year. The inner city is still the hub of Lahore, from the most famous whole sale market Shah Aalmi to the most controversial Heera Mandi, its all there within the 12 gates of the ancient walled city of Lahore.



The Walled City 2, Print (etching), 4" x 6"

The other most fascinating aspect of the walled city is its architecture. Even after centuries gone by you still get to witness some beautiful original architectural pieces. It houses the most famous Masjid Wazir Khan as well as Moti Masjid, along with Shahi Mamams (Royal Baths). It is indeed the most interesting part of Lahore.

Lahore is such a gorgeous place. So ok, I'm biased but I do believe that Jinne Lohr ni waikheya o jameya nai.

Lovely works. It'll be a delight to have a poster of the first one on a wall. Thanks for posting 'em Imran.
