Salam people! I guess I am on a roll =P Actually, today (and I mean yesterday) was my day off after a long week so I got a chance to sort through some pictures. Boy oh boy, was that a task!
After my shopping fiascoes I told Bhai I don't want anything or want to go anywhere just send me to a park and take some awesome autumn pictures esp. of a red/orange tree and falling leaves =P Well, no red tree or falling leaves yet so I guess my brother owes me another visit to a park or something before I leave.
Last week on Wednesday my Chotay Bhaiyya decided that I should go to the Zoo Park for autumn pictures - bonus I'll get to see and click pictures of animals too. I wanted to go to the park I saw on my way back from a mall once. Obviously, I have no idea what it's called but I knew where to go but Chotay ne ki chalaki kun k woh thora durr tha. Khair, Zoo Park wasn't that far so I was like okay.
The thing with their ZP is that they are HUGE. I remember when I went to ZP in Moscow and we spent about like 1.5-2 hours there and we barely even finished one corner. Us waqt Ammi tang ho gayeen theen and it was too cold so we came back. Basically you need alot of time and patience agar ap ne araam se ghoomna hai aur phir pictures ka bhi jab tak perfect angle shot nai hota tau you have to keep clicking and my Chotay Bhaiyya is really short on patience khaas taur pe when I click pictures.. mujhe pata tha 2 ghante baad shuru hojana hai us ne =P

| Yep, that's a zoo! =D |
 |
| Black Swans - and they talk too! |
 |
| I prefer our camels =P |
 |
| Beautiful colors nai? SubhanAllah :') |
 |
| Seriously, who got the time to draw on the floor? =P |
 |
| Ye itnay baray ghar mai (below) ye jinab rehte hain.. can you see him? =P |
Everytime (and I really mean everytime) I see a giraffe I think of the joke by Peanut (Jeff Dunham) where he talks about a giraffe throwing up ... it would take forever LOL! =P It sounds more funny in the video seriously -_-
This bum showing hippo reminded me of my visit to ZP in Moscow. Wahan pe mai jis jis jaanwar ki picture lene jaati they would turn around and show me their bums. And no, I am not kidding! Every single one of them esp. the monkeys! They were delighted (yes yes I can already read the comments in my head =P ) Even Ammi remembers!
Yehan pe weird thing happened.. Mai zebras ki picture le rahi thi and everyone was staring at me instead of looking at them. Bhai was laughing so hard kehne laga tumhain dekhne k liye mai ticket laga deta hon .. ha ha very funny! -_____-
Meet Richard Parker above and The Lion King family below =P Richard Parker was in a bad bad mood ek jagah khara hi nai ho raha tha and The Lion King family had just returned from their meditation session - so calm and peaceful =D
If anyone ever wants ke I have death by fear then they should lock me up in this part of the ZP (pictures below). *shudder* There was an enormous spider also but I couldn't even look at it let alone take a picture. Aisa lag raha tha cage tor ke mujh pe jump kar dega. Eek!
I am pretty sure this magarmach was dead or had given up on life at least. No, seriously! He didn't even move once! Believe me I tried.
Bhai really wanted to see the monkeys and gorillas but sadly we couldn't find them or they had moved them elsewhere from where he saw them last or removed them altogether. He wasn't sure. Bhai was sad so I took this picture at least =P
That's all the pictures for now. There are some animals jinke baray mai honestly mujhe kuch nai pata. Even if I had read the boards I wouldn't have remembered kun k there was so much information and there were so many animals! This time we did cover quite a good section of the park but still didn't see it all. Like I said HUGE and 2 ghante baad like I predicted Bhai ki bas hogayi thi but I still managed to stretch it to half an hour more with "acha na ek aakhri picture.. bas ye aakhri.. pakka ye wali last!" =P
I know you are thinking ke where are the trees and autumn pictures, right? Well, I have pictures lekin aisay thori dikhaon gi woh thoray alag style se paish hongi =D Aakhir first proper autumn hai mera bahi. Remember this and this ? The second one (You're Mine) maine Zoo Park mai hi li thi. Bas isi andaaz mai kahin na kahin namudaar hongi so wait for itttttttt ;-)
So, kaisa laga apko firangi chiriya ghar? I tau totally enjoyed it!
Until next time. Ciao! ♥
Awesome pictures. I like the 4th picture, with some post processing it will look more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlso this post reminds me of my visit to Lahore zoo 2 years ago. but this zoo is much better than Lahore one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/faizanahmad/sets/72157626439712437/
Thank you. I did post process it par itna nai only worked with the colors.. post processing maine kisi aur pe ziada ki hai you'll see soon inshaAllah ;-)
DeleteI love your pictures esp. the white tigers!!! I've been to the Lahore Zoo when I was a kid.. I guess I have those pictures too somewhere. What memories .. oh how I'd love to visit Lahore :')
привет! OMG! there are so many pictures, you've tested your chottay bhhaiya's patience very well.This Zoo is so huge agreed with Faizan this zoo is much better than that although Lahore Zoo is the biggest and very well manged zoo in the country. I only like white tigers there at that was back in 2008. I can imagine that sorting out right pictures & then edit them is such a hefty task. Picture no. 4,10,13,14 are my favs. that bird is so beautiful, SubhanAllah. I can't understand why your brother refusing that is not a peacock I'm 100% sure that is a male peacock. May be there were some school kids before you who drew that on the floor. Wait a minute what, animals at the zoo always show you their bum ? I couldn't understand that and why everyone looking at you while you were taking Zebra's picture ? may be you are wearing black & white clothes ? No, that crocodile was alive but at daytime like snakes they just rest, recently I've seen crocodile at Haliji lake in thatta they were all still like a statue like this one http://goo.gl/PiAcxP Okay we will wait for your autumn's pictures :)
ReplyDeleteDobra nochi! Ye tau kuch bhi nai aatay mai namak k barabar =P Like I told Faizan I've been to the Lahore Zoo but I was very young then.
DeleteHe said peacock ki "dum" lambi hoti hai =P
Whenever I tried to take their pictures animals would turn their face away from my camera and show me their bums. Seriously.
Hahaha.. no. I was wearing red =P I guess it was the wheelchair or my camera or both =D
Rest kar raha hai k hibernate it almost looks dead! =P
hahahaha wowwwwww awesome picturessssss :D
ReplyDeleteYou know, zoo ho to aisa :D Idher ka zoo buhuuuuuuut pehle dekha tha ja ke and it looked more like a sorry excuse of a park, rather than a zoo :-/
Hahaha! Thanks. I've been to the Karachi Zoo only once or twice and I only remember Mumtaz Begum =D
Deletehahahahahaha same here :D
