Cat Cat Village Ricefield, a photo from Lao Cai, North East

Photographer's Note

We decided to visit a typical H'mong village near Sapa to get a feel of how the village is like. One of the closest village to Sapa is the Cat Cat village which is just 4KM away. To enter the village one needs to pay 5000VND per person.

It was a misty and rainy day with not so many tourist. Not many people was around as well. There was a constant mist around the village any only occasionally there was a break. One of the main activites in the village is rice cultivation. They have many nice rice terraces there. I came across this view with a small pond. One can see the mist coming down in the background. A nice peaceful place at this time.

Hello Ng
I like the velvety and soft color from the mist.
The presence of the cloud in the background,hiding the horizon,gives intimity to this lovely composition.
Well done
