 Taken during an early morning walk around the wholesale flower market in Kolkata, India in early May. The heat and humidity were unbearable. Temps in excess of 35C at 6.30 am the only place to hide from the heat was underneath a bridge. Here I was able to observe the comings and goings of the market life. This gentleman was happy to stop for a minute or two to have his photo taken.
