Dhaka Noise

I recall taking the photograph below near a bus stop and remember the noise of the traffic on the road.

Drivers in Dhaka are fond of using vehicle horns to signal their presence on the road. This results in a chorus of noise which is joined by the gentler call of the bells of rickshaw drivers. This ensemble of traffic instruments has a stange predictability to it but the only thing that is absolutely certain is that it will sing without a break until late evening.
