Hello friends!
On March 4th, I got up at 5:30 am and went out the door towards the Mullick Ghat flower market at about 6:15. It's located near and even under, the classic Howrah bridge which crosses the Hooghly river Took the bus to Esplanade and caught a yellow cab there. With streets almost empty it was a quick ride to the market.
I shot at the market, both outdoor and indoor and went down to the river at the ghats. They are very beautiful here, with the backdrop of the bridge close by. I met a young guy with a camera, who turned out to be a fellow street photographer! We talked some and discovered our mutual admiration for the great Vineet Vohra.
All photos today are from the flower market and the ghats.
Afterwards, I walked up the stairs to the bridge and walked across. On the other side were some more ghats and the Howrah Railway station. Unfortunately, it seemed to me you need a ticket to get into the platform area. I was feeling tired and a bit worn out after some long days of shooting and decided to go back to the Airbnb and chill for the rest of the day, since I knew the next day was going to be busy. I found a bus to Sealdah station, which is not too far from my place. On the bus I chatted with a very nice young man, who was travelling with his wife from his native Madhya Pradesh. They were visiting the wife's family over the Holi festival.
Take care, guys!
Niklas
