[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dear TE friends; this is my 4th post of this beautiful location: TU LE and MU CANG CHAI in Yen Bai province. Some may feel fed up but I can't stop myself from posting more. Thanks for viewing and hope you enjoy them!
I and some of my friends came here by motorbikes on a rainy days and our destination was still quite far that's why we spent about one hr here after taking about hundred shots. All pics were taken from high POV on the pass named Khau Pha down to the large Valley. The distance is some hundreds meters I think then too difficult to get a close-up shot of farmers working on the fields without tripod and 70-200mm lens. I tried to go down but the muddy slope stopped me. This is the time when local ethnic people start a new crop. As u can see, the green paddies are seeding rice which they planted more than 2 weeks before , after that they take out these rice and replant them to other ready-made paddies (empty ones, you see). From the beginning of September, they start harvesting, good time for shooting again.
I was leaving with the thought that "I WILL come back, SURELY".

Hi Tan,
Beautiful and interesting creation of fields, I have never seen such thing. Good colours and light, perfect POV to demonstrate its 'speciality'. Great shot, very well done! TFS.

Hi Tan, I have seen some of your Vietnam photos today for the first time and like these very much. The good POV and the flowing water with patches of green makes a very strong composition. Good work. TFS. Murray.
