I finaly came across an angel – after the wedding stalking this was my least predictable item. During the Fringe festival many different buildings are pressed into service as theatre space and one show that I went to was in the Art College where the corridors are filled with sculptures – including this angel. No head or hands but the wings were intact so I was satisfied.
So I have found all the items – just the final item to reveal as summer comes to an end. Thanks Rinda for another fun hunt.
For the last week I’ve been in the office preparing for the workshop that starts on Tuesday. I thought I’d share some photos of the office. The photos I used last Monday were what I see out of my office window. If I turn the other way looking into the room I see my desk.
Bangladeshi tend to eat tasty snacks mid morning and afternoon and we often have these tasty fried treats – like a very spicy samosa that is round rather than a triangle. I pass on the fresh chilly that is served with them
For lunch we sometimes go the the canteen in a nearby building and sometimes have it delivered from that canteen. Always a big helping of plain rice and then a curry – this is chicken and potato - which comes in a plastic bag stapled shut. There is always a piece of lime, and green chillies for those who want.
On Thursday we had birthday cake for afternoon snack as two office colleagues had celebrated a birthday that week. Heavily decorated cakes are popular and can be seen in many bakery windows.
There is a tradition that the birthday person is fed some of the cake – I think borrowed from seeing the sharing of cake on USA weddings on TV
I think it interesting that the women wear traditional Bangla clothes (long tunic and trousers and a scarf) but the men have all adopted the western norm of shirt and trousers – albeit often in bright colours.
So there you have some tasters on my office at the moment. I plan to share some shots taken while driving around the city, later in the week.
Bonnie of Pixle Dust Photo Art really set us a challenge for our photoart this Friday – create a 7 word sentence that describes your evolution as a digi photoartist and match it with an image. I enjoyed this challenge and having mulled it over on several walks this is what I came up with
Really looking forward to seeing what others have created.
I see lots of movie posters on the sides of buses in Edinburgh and was in danger of missing this item on Rinda’s scavenger hunt list because I saw it so often. I finally snapped one when I was in town – the first I got a clear shot of just happened to be for Ted.
