Photographer's Note
Take Me Home Country Roads
Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
All my memries, gather round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the mornin hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far a-way
And drivin down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I be-long
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

of course this is not virginia. This is a country side in the North of Viet Nam, Sơm Tây. I were very happy that early morning when trekking this path which lead to the place I were born. That was also the first time I came back to my native place for thirty two year since I left it for Sai Gon (when I were three years old).
Victor,

Victor: a classic rural image - greens may even be a little too strong. c

Hello Victor,
An excellent picture, showing the peaceful atmosphere of the Vietnamese countryside. The oxcarts are very neatly placed between the impressive tree and the haystack.
Regards,
Gert
