As I am posting I am hearing Romney’s concession speech. Obama is President for another four years.

These trees are in a part of the Bangladesh Parliament Building Complex. They were definitely planted in a definite rows!
As I wanted to take this photo the dog stepped into the scene. I decided maybe he would be a nice foreground object!
This is a great spot for portraits. I was introducing them to their Bangla Language Instructor, and couldn’t resist stopping here for a photo.
You may have noticed I’ve been behind in posting photos. I had a hard drive crash on my laptop which had Lightroom4 on it (my fav editing and organizing program). Thus I have to catching up to do. Many of the photos may only be having some cropping happening but not much editing!
Jon and Fannie!

Nice Cloud Formation!
We were up early and traveled by motorcycle and boat and then motorcycle to get to this spot near Kuakata.!
Action at Sunrise!
This scene caught my eye while on the Brahmaputra river in Mymensingh.

Heading Home!
My friend Farhan Ahmed (khalujaan), a fellow TTLer got caught between my camera lens and the early morning sky!

I GOT UP EARLY TRYING TO CATCH THE FULL MOON THAT I DIDN’T CATCH BECAUSE OF GOING TO BED TOO EARLY! It was 10 pm which is actually late for me and not early! 🙂 I suspect I might do some post processing to enhance this photo later. But until then!
Full Moon, such as it is! It’s there somewhere behind the clouds. Yes, I got up at 4 am for this.
A SPECTACULAR SUNRISE WITH SILHOUETTES!
PEACEFUL WALK ON THE BEACH AT KUAKATA!
THIS WAS MY LAST PHOTO BEFORE I SCURRIED TO THE HOTEL TO GET READY SO I WOULDN’T MISS THE BUS!
We had to cross on five ferries on our trip down and due to weather, etc. it took us 17 hours. It’s no wonder there were less tourists than at Cox’s Bazaar, a beach further to the East.
The Best Sunset we saw on this trip.
WE WERE SCHEDULED FOR 4 AM TO LEAVE ON THE MOTORCYCLES TO CATCH THE SUNRISE FURTHER DOWN THE BEACH! We didn’t quite get left on time! The sunrises and sunsets were a big item in choosing where to go on this TTL Safari.
The name Kuakata originated from the word ‘Kua’-the Bengali word for “Well” which was dug on the sea shore by the early Rakhine settlers in quest of collecting drinking water, who landed on Kuakata coast in the eighteenth century after being expelled from Arakan (Myanmar) by the Mughals.[3]Afterwards, it has become a tradition of digging Well in the neighborhoods of Rakhaine tribes for water.
Kuakata offers a full view of the sunrise and sunset from the same white sandy beach in the water of the Bay of Bengal.
Locally known as Shagor Kannya (Daughter of the Sea), the long strip of dark, marbled sand stretches for about 30 km. The long and wide beach at Kuakata has a typical natural setting. This sandy beach has gentle slopes into the Bay of Bengal. Kuakata is also a sanctuary for migratory winter birds.
Evidence of God’s Handiwork and Artistic Ability!
