Buildings, and other items of interest.

Addition to a church building, in Churchandpur. Construction is on hold at present, because the well has run out of water, so they can't make concrete.


A staircase, in a house in Churchandpur. It isn't so plain to see, but you are looking over a fence here, at the second floor of the house. You can see the edge of the porch roof, just under the stairway.
The stairway to Fat James Restaurant, where we ate in Churchandpur. Note the individually hand poured concrete stairs. We sometimes negotiated this staircase after dark, with almost no light available. Very interesting.

A household goods shop in Churchandpur.

a cradle, in a family courtyard outside Bagdogra.

Cow pats drying in the sun. These are not the poop sticks I wrote about, but are also used for burning, and are collected the same way.

a loom, in a family's courtyard around Manikpur.

The kitchen stove, at the school at Kalipani
