[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Even water buffalo love a good swim or play in the water in the afternoon. The locals will take them down the river for a good soaking and some time where the water is shallow they will leave them unattended. They eat the algae in the stream or river (See workshop for photo) Water buffalo are use for farming in the rice field mainly to plow the soil before planting. They are also a source for meat, unfortunately.

Very nice catch with beautiful light. I love the attitude of the 2 children with their buffaloes.
