I recently managed a whole 10 days off for the first time I can remember, and decided to scoot off and get my camera out. Having enjoyed visiting the ship breaking yards in Chittagong in 2022, I thought that I would go back and spend a few more days in Bangladesh with different scenery in the...

Reading through this thread has put a wry smile on my face - Last Saturday the calibrated weather station on one of our construction projects here in Dubai hit 54.3 C (in the shade). It has also been very humid this summer with day and night temperatures being in the high 40's since June, but...

On to the next couple of photos - I am doing them on the hop as I sift through them over the little time I have over the weekends. Bangladesh%20Salt%20Trade%20October%202022-6%20by%20Vassily%20Zaytsev,%20on%20Flickr'][/URL] Bangladesh is a relatively small country but has an enormous...
