The man was making the wheel of a Rickshaw (a common hand pulled vehicle, which is used as a mode of transportation in Eastern India and specially in West Bengal) along with his helper, who is his brother (whose legs are visible in the picture) in his workshop (which is the front yard of his house). His little girl was sitting right next to him and was looking curiously and trying to understand what he was doing.
The whole process of making the rickshaw wheel is totally hand-made.
This traditional form of transportation is vanishing in this modern era where everyone is in so much hurry and so people like them are in acute financial problems

Toronto Financial District with the three tallest buildings in Canada. The photo is taken from the intersection of Bay Street and King Street West, often seen as the centre of Canadian banking and finance.
Happy hump day! Half way there guys..... Here's one from the city last week; Canary Wharf during golden hour. There was some awesome clouds and reflections, combined with some insane light. It was perfect as I worked my way around capturing one of the largest business and shopping development in London.
Have a great day guys!
This was shot with a Nikon AIS 180mm f/2.8 lens @f/4 from Telegraph Hill. This is a merge of 6 photos taken in a 2x3 grid.
Some might say I've overworked this fisheye shot of City of London skyscrapers. I'd probably have to agree with them.........
I was aiming for 'dark and foreboding' with this grainy monochrome but I think it's ended up 'noisy and murky'.

From Wikipedia : "The City of London is a city and county within London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the agglomeration has since grown far beyond the City's borders. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London. Administratively, it forms one of the 33 local authority districts of Greater London; however, the City of London is not a London borough, a status reserved for the other 32 districts (including London's only other city, the City of Westminster).
The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalising City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City. The name London is now ordinarily used for a far wider area than just the City. London most often denotes the sprawling London metropolis, or the 32 London boroughs, in addition to the City of London itself. This wider usage of London is documented as far back as 1888, when the County of London was created."

As with a lot of long exposures, this looks better on black!
I spent ages researching a 10-stop ND filter for my Nikon 14-24mm lens and discovered that they're hard to come by, with decent ones being even more rare.
Thankfully I found one I thought I would be happy with and took it out for a test drive.
This was a week or two before my trip to Iceland, so I wanted to take my new gear out for a bit of a test run around London. I wasn't going to post this shot, but it's grown on me, so here you go.
Read this on my blog: thefella.com/blog/financial-skies.

Moscow Financial District, Moscow, Russia.
Moskva City, the shining financial district also known as the Moscow International Business Center, has been in the works since the early 1990s and was planned as an ultra-modern blend of business, living and entertainment spaces.
But as the Russia economy is ravaged by plummeting oil prices and international sanctions, half of the available spaces in the district are going unoccupied.

London's financial district around Canary Wharf as we look across St Pauls Cathedral from the top of Monument.
Bankenviertel (German pronunciation: [ˈbaŋkŋ̍ˌfɪʁtl̩]; banking quarter) is the name of the central business district in Frankfurt, Germany where many banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions are located. It is the most important German financial hub, if not one of the largest in Europe along with La Défense in the Paris aire urbaine and London's City and Canary Wharf.
Having no official or strict borders, it is commonly defined as the western part of the Innenstadt, the southern part of the Westend and the eastern part of the Bahnhofsviertel. Its most central square is the Opernplatz.
Hard to believe (for some) but there was a day when cash was used more than credit cards. The first credit card was the 1950 cardboard Diners Club card in New York City - 2 years later it was being used in several countries around the world, and by 1958 banks were getting in on the "charge-it" game. In Canada, the evolution of "plastic banking" led to the demise of the penny in 2013. Another example of financial evolution is the Future Shop electronics store charge card ... they ceased business in Canada in 2015, becoming part of the Best Buy electronics emporium.

Excerpt from historicplaces.ca:
Description of Historic Place
The building at 1-5 Main Street West, commonly known as the Bank of Montreal, is situated on a prominent parcel of land at one of downtown Hamilton's busiest intersections. The two-storey building was constructed in 1928 to the designs of architect Kenneth G. Rea, an independent practitioner from Montreal.
The exterior of the building, excluding the western façade, and the interior features of the main banking hall are protected by an Ontario Heritage Trust conservation easement. The property is also designated by the City of Hamilton under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (Bylaw 79-222).
Heritage Value
The building is located at the intersection of Main and James Streets and occupies a position in the financial heart of Hamilton's downtown core. This economic hub is also home to a number of other significant financial buildings such as the Pigott Building (36-40 James Street), the Sun Life Building (42 James Street), and the Landed Banking and Loan Company Building (36-40 James), all of which are recognized heritage properties. Today, the Bank of Montreal building is reaffirming its position as a cultural landmark within Hamilton's downtown core. The building will be used to house commercial offices and contribute to the economic vitality of the city's downtown.
As the former main branch of the Bank of Montreal in Hamilton, this building is associated with the city's history as having a thriving banking and insurance district. It provides a physical link to a time when the business functions of Hamilton rivalled those of neighbouring Toronto. The building is also a testament to the tradition of heritage conservation in Hamilton. As one of the most prominent buildings to escape unscathed from the urban renewal movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the building faced an uncertain future when it was slated for demolition in the early 1980s. Following the efforts of local politicians, heritage advocates, and a concerned citizens group, called the Bank of Montreal Action Committee, the building was spared from demolition and was re-established as an active commercial building by the mid 1980s.
Designed in the monumental and opulent Neoclassical style of the late 1920s, the Bank of Montreal building has been described as one of the finest bank premises in Canada. The building exhibits excellence in craftsmanship on both its exterior and interior, however, it is the carvings on the two street-facing facades by renowned Dutch-Canadian sculptor William Oosterhoff that most often garners attention. The interior of the building displays a monumentality of scale and richness of detail that is both awesome and stunning. Its most significant feature is the two-storey banking hall which is lit on all four sides by long shafts of vertical windows.
Character-Defining Elements
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value include its:
- prominent location in the heart of Hamilton's financial district
- close proximity to other financial buildings recognized as heritage structures
- classically inspired composition of the main (east) facade and the north and south elevations in Queenston dolomite on a Stanstead granite base
- central motif on the main façade which incorporates four graceful Corinthian columns and a pediment featuring an intricately carved Bank of Montreal coat of arms in the tympanum
- Corinthian pilasters and large two-storey windows of the north elevation, south elevation, and the northern and southern flanks of the main façade
- iron grills over the ground floor windows and the decorative masonry of the door surround
- 35 foot (10.7m) ceiling height in the interior
- finely chiselled Tennessee marble walls
- 28 foot (8.5m) ionic columns in solid red Levanto marble
- ceiling spanned by coffered ornamental girders in polychrome
- iron railing bordering the mezzanine
- marble and iron staircase connecting the basement and main floor at the north-eastern corner of the building
The sun sets on the financial district in Toronto in what was a record breaking temperature of 12.5 C on February 20th.
London’s financial centre has expanded beyond its original heartland in the City of London to the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf in the east and plush townhouses in Mayfair to the west. The British capital dominates global foreign exchange, and features international bond and fund management operations and more banks than any other hub. Is the City vulnerable to a Brexit shock? About a third of the transactions which take place on its exchanges and in its trading rooms involve clients in the EU… Interesting times ahead for one of the worlds’s largest financial capitals – London, UK
