National Parliament House, located at Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, is an Architectural wonder in the world and masterpiece of the world-famous architect Louis Isidor Kahn. Because of its architectural values and significance, it is an important place for the visitor from home and abroad. -Wikipedia

You can see this masterpiece in the background.

This is the intersection of Mirpur Road and Manik Mia Avenue, below where the Bangladesh Parliament Building photo was taken.

Here from this vantage point outside the “Seventh Heaven” cafe my friends were videoing the traffic below. We enjoyed a dish of ice cream here as well.

I thought this was an interesting capture! A festive occasion, which means wearing beautiful saris. It was the First Day of Spring, and Valentine’s Day, so they could choose to dress in Red or Yellow!

These women wanted my wife and I stop and drink tea! I had stopped quite often at this tea stand over the years, so they recognized me. They hadn’t seen my wife very often, and maybe not at all. We enjoyed the visit, and the complimentary cha!

The Van Gari in top photo has the colors of the Bangladesh Flag! We hired a Van Gari to move the furnishings from our apartment to the one that Dustin rented when he down-sized since we were leaving. I was creative (or lazy) when I couldn’t find a photo of a flag in my current collection, to step out on the veranda and take a photo of this flag!

School buses from two different companies, with and without scholars! Assuming the one company tries to have a route that takes 10 minutes or less to get the children to school, or just decided on this catchy name! When I went to school “in the good old days,” I pedaled to school!

Where is the best place to watch the sunset near you? Intellectual Martyr’s Monument: I have taken sunset photos here in the past, and it is nice to get the sunset through this opening in the monument. From my home, the best place to get a sunset photo, is standing in the straight, or from the upstairs bedroom window, looking past the next door house and above the clock tower of the courrthouse.

Martyred Intellectuals Memorial is a built in memory of the martyred intellectuals of the Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial is located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka. Wikipedia

This photo sure looks posed, but obviously I had their attention! Of course, it isn’t every day that a foreigner walks down this side street! I suspect this will be one of my favorite photos for 2023! Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh
