Tiles, Porker and a Siesta House



These tiles outside of the Banderban Guest House restaurant just melted my clay loving heart. Okay, I am being sappy.




I captured this little porker in a Tripura village. In a mostly Muslim country, they are quite a rare site.



This lone structure is a rest house for the people working in their hillside fields. When it is hot and humid (middle of the day) they take rest in these places. Sounds inviting about right now.

Textures of Bangladesh


These are the thin, quick drying towels called "gamchas" drying on our porch, with the sun behind them. They struck me as things of beauty. It was just one of those moments, I guess. I think they are still made on hand looms.



I love multiples which create textures, thus the bamboo and the bricks.




This thatch below is the wall of a Tripura house. It is identified as Tripura because of the slatted window style.
