This photo, taken near the Notun Bridge in Chittagong, depicts a lone street vendor standing amidst dense fog. He carries a striking bundle of bright pink cotton candy, a colorful contrast to the muted, misty background. The image captures the quiet resilience and determination of local vendors who brave early mornings and harsh weather to make a living. The foggy bridge adds an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality, emphasizing the solitude of the vendor in his daily hustle.
