dogs

today our dear little Millie went for her final trip to the vet. Im just so sad that I was not home to be with my kids who have cared for her since we moved here. Sometimes distance is a very painful thing.

Bus stops

Bus stops in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai are airconditioned to encourage people to use public transport in the brutal summer heat.

More Bangladesh

I love this photo. Firstly, Bert blends in with the crowd so nicely doesn't he. Look at the little boy with the money in front of his face. I would love to know where he got it, did he find it in the rubbish?

Bangladesh

Bert recently travelled to Dhaka Bangladesh to recruit new workers for his company. Most of his photos were taken from inside a car as he worked the whole time he was there, but they still are so interesting

More window cleaning

Bert snapped this window cleaner on a recent trip to Dhaka Bangladesh. This guy despite his ladder made of bamboo and rope, has a safety harness of sorts on.

safety first

This is a reasonably common sight here. This guy is on the top floor apartment across the courtyard.
I walked into our dining room one day to find our maid balanced on the ledge outside the window. I resisted the urge to grab the camera, I was more concerned about coaxing her back inside safely
