I know I photographed bananas hanging when I first worked in Cox back in 2018-19 but for myself I haven’t (yet) troubled to go back and check if it was the same shopfront I photographed back then, whose hanging banana bunches captured my eye this visit.
Lakes and fields of NL as seen after take-off from Schiphol in September, and lakes and suburbs of Dhaka in Bangaldesh, as seen before landing the following day 🙂
This “Signs of the City” series began as a way to get me out the door in the highly urban environment of Dhaka: one thing I could count on finding any time I walked out the door was at least a commercial sign or flier, so I made it my goal to get out each day and photograph a sign or two, even when the heat was oppressive or the traffic unusually heavy and loud. During last month’s return to Bangladesh, after the unexpected departure of the PM (on August 5, for anyone who looks closely enough at the gallery below to wonder why the “36th July” painting), I saw lots of new graffiti and more color in both Cox & Dhaka than I’d seen in past visits. All the images in this post come from a wall around some large compound not far from the office.
Two more airborne shots from my Cox to Dhaka flight last month. North of Chattogram (Chittagong) and looking east northeast, above; and still in Cox, looking south, below.
