THIS BOY ENJOYED THE BALLOON THE GUESTS GAVE HIM!
BALLOON IN THE SHAFT OF SUNLIGHT.
OUR GUESTS TOOK THIS PHOTO!
Alice, Dustin and I.
Let us dump sadness, jump with happiness,
shun fear and run with courage in heart in this new year.
Happy Pohela Boishakh.
I thought this photo of spices would be great to typify the food and Bengali culture!
HERE IS SOME OF THE SELECTION OF FISH AT THE MARKET IN TOWN HALL.
THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE 7TH HEAVEN RESTAURANT ABOVE AARONG’S IN LALMATIA, DHAKA, BANGLADESH. Carol Hochstetler liked this photo because of the tractor and the cool car beside it. I guess this photo is dedicated to my friend, Joe Hochstetler!

MY DECIDED WHILE THE TOMATOES WERE IN SEASON to make some paste for use with pizza or spaghetti!
Many French Pizzas coming up in the next year!
THIS SHOP OWNER WANTED A PHOTO OF HIM AND HIS WORKERS. It is shops like this that provide long strings of lights (similar to Christmas lights in America) that hang from 8-12 story buildings. They are a beautiful sight at night. They are used on the apartment buildings if one of the tenants is getting married. Even the National Parliament building has these kind of lights strung during many holidays, like Independence Day.
It is amazing that we are in Day 100 of 2012 already!
WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS!
HAPPY EASTER!
I PHOTOGRAPHED THIS TIA PAKI (Bangla name) at Block D, Lalmatia, Dhaka! Different times this bird showed up and I was without my 70-300 Canon IS lens. I used auto focus and when looking at the photos, I wondered if I would have gotten a sharper image with manual focus! So it goes. I saw an ad which showed the price of this bird at 5,00o taka (62.50 USD).

A PILE OF WATERMELONS WITH THE SELLER PERCHED ON TOP OF THEM IN MIRPUR 1, DHAKA, BANGLADESH.
We sure have been enjoying the taste of this fruit. A small one will likely cost 1.40 USD.
TASTY WATERMELONS!
HERE I AM WITH ANOTHER FRUIT STALL OWNER! They sure know how to arrange their fruit in a pleasing manner.
FRUIT STALL OWNER GLAD TO POSE WITH HIS FOREIGNER FRIEND!
