AN AVIAN SYMPHONY: Two egrets, out to get their own haul of goodies, circling over the net cast by fishermen in Rangamati’s Kaptai lake early in the morning. The lake provides a habitat for various fish species, including chapila, kachki, niletika, kal baush, mrigel, and carp. When birds gather alongside fishermen to catch some fish, the harmony between the natural world and humans comes alive.

Boatmen waiting for passengers on the bank of the Buriganga in Old Dhaka yesterday. During the dry season, the low water levels expose the river’s dismal state owing to severe pollution, and people tend to keep off the murky and smelly waters. Photo: Anisur Rahman
