Baluchistan, Pakistan ((fold-and-thrust belt, structure, mountains))

One final fold-and-thrust belt, for the last day of May. Since no one had yet tackled the Himalayas, I went scooting over there and found this arcuate series of ranges to the west of the main Himalayan front, in the Baluchistan region of northern Pakistan. Apparently, it's called the Sulaiman Range, according to Flash Earth. Lovely differential weathering of folded strata...

What's June's theme?
