Carving On The Desks

Share('DiggThis’)
A London-based artist, Ben Turnbull born in 1974 and expelled from two schools where he used to spent time drawing and carving out some exquisite caricatures on to a desk which today had led him to be one of the controversial artists with his controversial works, surely knows how to make strong impact with his art.

His main focus has mostly been America as he is fascinated by the global dominance of the American political system. His work that resembles the children’s toys mainly depicts the prevalence of violence in society today, as his wood carvings are mainly of different guns and weapons which surely attract one’s attention.

Share('DiggThis’)
The Hussaini- Borit Lake Bridge is considered as one of the most dangerous as it is very old, narrow, and too high above the lake and to top it all the wooden planks are missing.


This only the tip of the iceberg, as this dangerous rope bridge is the only means for the local people to travel to big cities in northern Pakistan.


The local people of Pakistan use several suspension bridges to cross rivers in and around northern Pakistan. Among these, the Borit lake bridge is well known around the globe for being the most dangerous and thrilling rope bridge.


The two bridge trek forms a major tourist attraction in Pakistan. Here, you have to cross the two bridges that take you through Passu and other neighboring villages and ends at the lake itself. The view from the Borit lake bridge is picturesque. And this attracts the tourists to take the long and dangerous trek time and again.
