Broghil, also spelled Boroghil or Broghol and several other ways, is a high mountain pass that crosses the Pamir and connects the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan with Chitral in Pakistan. According to the National Geographic Geographic Project, Broghil Pass appears to be the route used by the ancestors of all modern Western Europeans to reach Europe. Broghil is a relatively low pass, only 3,798 meters or 12,460 feet high. It was closed for about three months each winter because of snow, but for much of the rest of the year it was passable even for cart traffic. It is located at 37°00'N 73°26'E.

The area of Broghil is inhabited by Wakhi Tajiks and by Kyrgyz.

The Broghil Pass is one of the four major mountain passes enter Chitral. The others are the Dorah Pass from Badakshan in Afghanistan, Shandur Top from Gilgit, and Lowari Top from Dir in Pakistan.

How is it possible that the mountains are dark as if the sun has set and its past evening but the trees are bright as if the sun is shining on them?


I think that:

The mountains in the background are the in the East.

The sky is overcast with grey clouds (giving the impression of night time).

It is mid to late afternoon sun.

Some of sun's rays are shining through a gap in the clouds at an angle that they illuminate only the tree line and the area below it.

In the post-processing, the colours are enhanced and the contrast is maximized.

Above is just a guess work.

The question reminds me of the narrative about 'People of the Cave' (Ashab-e-Kahaf) in Quran. The location of that cave is mentioned in some geographic terms describing the rising of the sun and the angle of light. Probably we are told the location of the cave. One day, probably it will be discovered.

And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah . He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide. Quran 18:17

Example:

A similar photo that I took back in 2004; with a 2.1 MP auto-focus camera.

What in God's name was that!?! Not taking away any credit from loveicon for sharing this video I must say that these two chaps and their program is utter garbage. Not only were they more camera hungry than a couple of teenage girls they didn't show any of the place that they were there to show. They were in Karimabad and they didn't show any of it. Rakaposhi, Ultar Sar, Diran Peak, Ladyfinger, Spantik, Eagles' nest....did you see them? Did they say anything about them? Did they even show where the Baltit Fort stands? For heaven's sake all this can be seen from your hotel room window when your staying in Karimabad. Did they even tell where Hunza is? Did they show any of it's people? Did they talk about it's history? Did they tell you what you can do when your there? They even failed to manage a panoramic shot of the Hunza valley from the fort's damn balcony where they were sitting pretty talking about sitting on a king's throne like two idiots! Add to that the fact that they didn't know jack squat about the place. For example Hunza water, which they blabbered on about for many minutes, isn't water. It's the local wine! Had they talked to any local for 5 minutes he would've told them tonnes more than what they talked about. Who sent these monkeys there?

ps: And when the hell will these people learn to buy good cameras for such programs. It makes all the difference!
