Adil Najam

We have not had an ATP Photo-Quiz for quite a while. So, here it is. Our previous Photo-Quizes were fairly well-receievd (here, here, here, here, here and here), and it is only appropriate if this one is about a building, given all the discussions we have been having on architecture (here, here, here, here and here).

Do you know where in Pakistan this structure is?

Should not be that difficult to guess. But is it a guess or have you yourself been here? Let me give you another picture of the same place that might be slightly more familiar.


I assume that the blogwise amongst you have seen these pictures recently elsewhere. But I also suspect that very few have ever been here. If you have, please let us know and share your knwoeldege and experience with us. If not, I will follow soon with a second post that has more details on this, including credits.

    Not sure where it is from but it is a pretty elegant image.

    This is in Karachi, probably on Stadium Road or somewhere in that vicinity. I have been there and my first reaction was why can’t we keep our cemeteries as clean and tidy.

    This looks like the war cemetery at Vimy, France.

    Looks like the war graves near the National Stadium Road in Karachi. I’ve been inside the adjacent Naval Graveyard where my father is buried.

    my first guess would have been Rawalpindi since that is and was teh big military city in the region.

    dunno really. but from the style, background in second picture, and carefuly taken care of green grass, I might guess somewhere near Abbottabad or Kakul?

    This is the Karachi War Cemetery, I haven’t been here so can’t comment on that.
