Second Day part 4

Some Mekong River view.

This picture is a bit weird. But kind of like the mood of this image.
Underexposed though and hazy.

Second Day part 5

After the village, we arrived at Pak Ou Cave. Everybody rushed to the 1st Cave, I went to the 2nd . The 1st cave has more things to see, but narrow. Second cave quite large.
(side note: no need to rent the tourchlight in front of 2nd cave, nothing much actually).

On the way to the 2nd cave on the top, I met this little girl trying to sell a captured bird to me.

In the evening, we passed by a village

Kids there quite naive. Maybe they are poor, but (maybe) they are happy?!

james, great shots!
This one here the composition is so timely, with each kid his/her own expression and the front two crossing their arms and looking in opposite directions!

Second Day Part 7

Two more kids. They are cute.

We left the village. However, if have chance, saw the scenery actually quite great. Too bad don't have opportunity to revisit during these days.

Third Day-Monk Procession

Early in the morning, at around 6 a.m., we already gathered and headed to the place where most monks pass by early in the morning, taking photos. Everybody get excited with the attendance of the monks! Fetish? Beat me?! (Side note: was like limwhow, ke kiang, pretend to be strong, didn't wear jacket, it was freaking cool that morning! ). A close up.

Another close up. A local donated some food to a monk. I think as long as it's sincere, the costume wise, they don't bother that much. A bit funky, but salute to the guy with sunglasses.

According to info heard, these monks (in the tut tut) came from Thailand. Taking video as part of their documentary?!

Third Day- Market

We went to a market after the MP. Everybody got excited again. Shooting and shooting away, till at certain time, there are more photographers than the patron! This one was taken right at the "entrance" (actually there is no entrance)
