The Bicycle

We stayed at this hotel in Saidpur which actually had air-conditioning which I made good use of. The only problem was that when I came out to the courtyard where our van was parked in the morning and found this good shot, my lens promptly steamed over. The first shot is a Photoshop doctored version, the second the original, and the third a variation with more diagonals and complementary colors.

Bloomin' Stuff

This neat little flower pot was found on the roof of my office.




The following two are shots of the Krishnachura tree. I had totally forgotten how this tree illuminates the countryside of Bangladesh at certain times of the year. I would love to get it framed in a complementary deep blue sky, but unfortunately we don't see too much of that this time of year. I guess I'll settle for green foliage.

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.
