Almost at the end of my trip through the surroundings of Angkor Wat. One of the oldest Buddhist monuments in the world has inspired a lot of photographers. My excellent guide, Dutch photographer Eric de Vries, really showed me the secret views. Herewith a glance through my images. Because of a lot of hick ups I was not able to come with mote posts. I will come back with more images as soon as I am back in The Netherlands.

Vietnam is known for its different landscapes. Special the North is rather wild because of its volcanic origin. Herewith some of the the landscapes in the North of North Vietnam (except for one which was made in the Ba Be Lake).

Around Dong Van and Meo Vac (North Vietnam) there is still a very small minority the Lolo which is very hard to find. Moreover the younger ones mostly don’t wear their traditional dress. The dress is expensive and the children love the market clothes more than the traditional ones. I was lucky to pass by a village where I was invited for a drink and food because of New Years day. So I can show you a lady in her traditional dress preparing her hair dress.

Very fast for my followers some images of the several hill tribes in their natural environment. Have to leave for the boat and will be without internet again for the coming days. More information about the progress of my trip later. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment. It will support me.

On our way from Ha Giang to Dong Van we passed by a region of the Geen H’Mong minority. You will find them in several parts of the North. But this part is known for their special head dresses. For this reason with this post I focused on portraits.
