This is a photo of my wife and son who had to leave the crowded or occupied sidewalk for the street.  I confess that when we go somewhere they will choose to walk, while I take a rickshaw!

These painters hope today somebody will need some painting done!  This is a daily sight at our local market.

These are three of my friends. In the morning they walk around looking for paper and plastic they can sell for recycling. In the afternoon they go to school.  The shy one is hiding behind his bag!

Happy Easter! 100’s of Christians gathered in front of the Bangladesh Parliament Building for the annual Easter Sunrise service!

I’ve seen this bird most mornings at 5:45 on our morning walk around the Parliament building.  It too dark to photograph plus I don’t have my camera with me.  Today I decided to return later in the day.  I waited 10 minutes and gave up and headed home.  I had only taken 30 steps down the sidewalk when I saw this kingfisher swooping down on the water before perching in this tree.  I retreated and got some photos with a 70-300mm canon lens on my  7D camera.
