The image shows a farmer riding his bike home through these tarp-covered fields of chilies in Panchagarh, Bangladesh. In Panchagarh, the harvesting season lasts for two months in the spring. To maintain the town’s economy, everyone, from young children to the elderly, works to gather as many chilis as they can.
