Akhlas, a very dramatic scene, well seen and captured. I like the diagonal placement of the train. Well Done

Unbelievable. Like ants.
Very nice catch

So many people; very few women.

A London commuter train? No, of course not! But it certainly looks like one _ or at least, feels like one…lol.
Brilliant shot!

Hi Keith – I was going to say the same — London commuters should stop whining and be thankful!
Great shot.
David Lazar

A good test for deodorant (hopefully)!

Unbelievable. It is hard to find the train at first.
This photo has opened my heart to the Bangledesh people.

I loved this picture, it’s quite exceptional, please excuse me but my thoughts were , what
an absolutely unsolvable and incredible Jigsaw Puzzle that would make.

I doubt any one can afford deodorant. so unsafe to ride like that.But……good shot when you were there to capture this.
Ati
Wow, I like these photos when you can just gaze at it for a long time with all the details. And yes, it would be so good for a puzzle.
For one thing, it can be hard to get around there, and just living there.

After seeing a picture like this it’s very difficult for North Americans to try to justify Road-Rage

This happens once in a year in Bangladesh during a sprititual gathering. It is called ‘Bishwa Ijtema’ (you can call it – world muslims’ get together)- the 2nd largest gathering for muslims after Hajj at Macca. People come across the wolrd & gather for prayer for 3 days and after that they go back home. This picture was taken while those 5 million people started moving from that area. Lot of special transportations can’t help when volume is over 5 million! So, it gets this look

So many people for an isthema, wow,faith breaks fear.
