The late afternoon sun broke<br />

through the far treetops and coated<br />

everything in a mysterious golden<br />

light. This was the perfect moment<br />

to take a couple of shots in this area<br />

in the backwaters of rural Vietnam.<br />

Only a few hours by motorbike<br />

from HCM City, Vietnam's Tra Vinh<br />

Province in the heart of the Mekong<br />

Delta hosts one of the largest<br />

populations of ethnic Khmer in<br />

the country.<br />

The province has more than<br />

140 temples and pagodas.<br />

The Buddhists here follow the<br />

Theravada way, so you can<br />

easily mistake it for Thailand<br />

or Cambodia when you see the<br />

monks’ yellow and orange robes.<br />
