I read somewhere that when the water is low in the Mekong river people go out on the sand banks digging for gold. I don’t know if it’s true. I took a walk outside of Luang Prabang one day and walked down to the river and saw people digging on the sand banks but it actually looked more like they where collecting some kind of stone or something. They didn’t seem to mind having me around for a while taking pictures.
I also found some really nice spots down at the river for landscape images with great reflections in the water. My plan was to go back in the evening and shoot some landscape but that was the evening I got sick so that never happen. This image was the last one I shot on this trip.
