Calcutta / Instagram

A few photos which I took in Calcutta / Kolkata in October:

The Taj Bengal hotel


breakfast (the most attractive part, at least)


dawn, over Calcutta's big sky


a morning walk behind the hotel (red rooftop in the distance), crossing a bridge over Tolley's Nullah


Bhowanipore War Cemetery


perhaps this does not mark a warrior's grave, but it touched me


A side street in Bhowanipore


a lively morning market in the narrow streets across from the War Cemetery. A butcher.

 a temporary vegetable market

freshwater fish
 a water tower, I suppose. what colours and shapes!


 Durga puja. The demon victim and the lion vehicle are looking equally apprehensively at the goddess, who is not overly concerned about where her spear-point is going.
