Endangered Buddha of Swat valley
It's one of the best carved Buddhas on the rock in the valley of Swat, but it's in danger because of the increasing insurgency and talibanisation in Swat valley, I took the snap during the last days of Ramadan in October, this Buddha's faces 2 severe attacks, and lost its face, but I can't say what'll happen to it in the future..
