Eternal Sunshine: Beautiful Barisal: Through The Eyes of An Amateur

I had a recent quick trip to the south of the country. It was a very rainy week and I love rain.

I often take pictures with my phone and a very basic compact camera is my constant companion during my trips. Although I never thought about sharing the photos (despite the blog was once opened for the purpose of sharing!), I changed my mind after speaking to a friend who said he has never seen a Lotus-Pond. My memory of Lotuses are pretty scarce too and all that I have seen are the pink lotuses and white and pink water lilies. Moreover, my travel experience across Bangladesh is also pretty limited. These days, I am getting the opportunity to see my country, as still it is, in many corners, thriving for life. Yet, I miss my land of beauty, serenity, pleasure: my Chittagong Hills. Before I can reach there again, probably archiving the moments I am coming across while travelling across the country is a good idea.

Photos in this post are taken with a Samsung SIII and a Canon Ixus 105. I tried to edit the pictures a bit more using MS Office 2010 (very basic, some people might laugh out loud....ha ha)

Flooded Barisal City Streets- July 2013, yet life moves on
