Pictures from Bangladesh

This is the photo I like the most. It was taken during a dusk period, when all cattle with cattle boy go home together. The exposing time is at 6 pm. In Bangladesh, you can find this scene in winter or in summer:

This is a rare photo you cannot find often. In winter when water goes to the narrow position, summer just knocks at the door. The village people go together fishing, and they use those tools. They are called “poloo” in bangoly language. It’s a trap made of bamboo. During the village festival all people go fishing together. They shout loudly and jump in the water all day long. Nowadays, in the computer age, this charm is being abolished slowly, and the global urbanization prevails:

In the Bangladesh city called Sylhet, the careless natural beauty is often seen. I took this photo when summer season was going on. It was very hot this day, and the environment was a bit lonely. I often choose to go out in the middle of the day. This situation is seen often, when rare person go far carrying an umbrella:

In winter, you may find nice river side view as this photo is showing. It’s a semi-ariel photo. The boats are resting together in various compositions. They wait for clients to take them across the river:

In Bangladesh, people of several religions live together. Hindu’s are one of them. You may find an antique temple…2 children standing on the front. This temple is made by Hindu’s, more then 200 years ago. They build it after their relative death. It is called the symbol of the dead soul. It is nothing but a generation gap this days. I composed it to mean the generation gap between old and youth:
