Photo: Roses for Ramadan

Despite the fact that nearly everyone is fasting, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan can be one of the most festive times of year in Bangladesh. With everyone decorating their homes, the flower markets are in full-swing, and these vendors were thrilled to show off their wares to the clueless white girl with the camera. So thrilled, in fact, that they presented me with a bouquet when I finally went on my way.
