I see nothing special in all those pics, the city seems to be empty, like there was no street life. Are there any people around? ;) Or is it just the impression caused by the decieving photos?

On the other hand, I like the suburbs, nice and clean.

^^Well depends on what you are looking for.

Islamabad is certainly not a place with the best street life. Its quite serene.
But having said that, its not a deadly city either. Its growth has been quite recent. In the 90s it was a dead city but not any longer. Today, the city + surrounding area which come under its territory has a population of 1 million +.

Those pics were taken by lovers of nature and serenity...thats why you dont see a lot of street life. Look at the pics, they were taken at dawn..hence no people around.

There a few market places some pages back. I would try and look for more pics that were taken at daytime.

^^ Above pictures are that of under-construction Rawal lake promenade. The capital development authority is planning to develop a some water sports and other facilities in the rawal lake area.

There is also a plan for a fountain jet in the middle of the lake.
