冬場は行くための道も悪く、行っても寒くてやれることもないから行くチャンスもほぼないフンザの冬。

そんな観光客も薄いであろう冬のフンザで毎年12/21にはこんな巨大人形を焼く祭りが行われてるんだって。おもしろーい。

どんな祭りなの?と尋ねると、非常に面白い土地の伝説を教えてくれた。

昔フンザに現れたShirimadadという名の巨人?が現れ、当初は山羊を食べて暮らしてたけど、老婆の呪いで人の子を食べるようになってしまい、その巨人の娘(!)と村人が共に画策して巨人を焼き殺したそうな。

で、以降、毎年12/21に巨人を模した人形を焼き続けないと、巨人は復活すると言われてるんだって!

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed!" ― Dr. Seuss

Amidst the tension in the Pakistani and Indian Kashmir region, I wondered if I should post more picture perfect photos of Northern Pakistan. At the same time, I think this IS the right time. The people of Hunza are kind, the nature is stunning, and tourism is an important income.

Another favourite image from my 30+ year photographic career. Moving on to overseas landscape, this is Rakaposhi (7788m) from Hunza, Pakistan. It has the longest uninterrupted rise on Earth (at least on land): 6000 metres from base to summit.

Yet I could have just stayed there and remain young forever. 🙂

Of course, I'm referencing to that old James Hilton novel "The Lost Horizon". (You can download for free and read it on your Kindle. I recommend it.) Some people say Hunza is the original "Shangri-La", the inspiration for the book- the secret paradise on earth where people live hundreds of years and remain strong and healthy. I will not dispute that. It's a totally different reality, it's like you're in a trance all the time. It's "unreal".

Hunza, Pakistan. 2013.

The #Burusho are a small ethnic group living in the sub-Himalayan region of #pakistan called the Hunza Valley or simply #Hunza. They would not be particularly notable, except for two rather unique and interesting features. The more interesting, but less famous, of these features is that their language (Burushaski) is unrelated to any other in the world. This in itself is not unusual, as there are many language isolatesWikipedia throughout the world. Their better known feature is their spot as a ploy in one of the most egregious instances of diet woo that has ever been perpetrated in history.

James Hilton's 1936 novel Lost Horizon introduced the world to the notion of Shangri-La, a too-good-to-be-true Himalayan paradise of near-immortal godlike beings who have achieved perfect health and contentment.
