Pakistani trucks, without hardly any
exception, are painted in an unmistakable and distinctive style. Most are
pieces of art with incredible attention to detail. The following is a
collection of pictures, most of them taken through the windshield from our
moving van. We were told that truckers are often too poor to marry, so they
may put two years’ earnings into the decorating. |

We liked our truck
photos because they are also a memory of the varying road conditions – as well
as the amazing view of extremely high mountains. |

It was fun trying to
get the photos of the pickup trucks full of live chickens! The pickups came at
us much faster than the trucks did…Many chickens had their heads sticking out
as in the photo to the left. |

At the far left the
empty truck shows the cute eyes that are used as the background for this
website. |

The public busses are
just as colorfully painted as the trucks! Women sit in front! |
