Drawn to the Haor waters

At the height of the monsoon, Uftar Haor, beside Baish Tila village on the outskirts of Sylhet, has filled with water. Every day, large numbers of visitors travel there to enjoy its natural beauty. Families and groups of friends take boat rides across the haor, soaking in the tranquil waters, lush surroundings and vast open sky. Anis Mahmud took these photographs recently.
