Displacement

Khulna,
Bangladesh


It is busy at the boat jetty in Khulna, passengers coming and going to town and to one of the outlying islands. Stepping on and off of the boats is an art. You see children to elderly people skip down the stairs and step without holding anything on to the boat, during the journey most stand correcting their balance with that of the boat easily and elegantly. So agile.
The outlying island that you can see in the distance, and that I would have seen better if I had had binoculars, is flooded and under water each year during the wet season. More than 150,000 people are displaced each year!!
