Herding Buffaloes

Le Hoang Thai (born 1979), a photographer, wandered on the roads to record beautiful scenes and rural rhythms of rural life in Long An Province. 
 
He is currently the chairman of the Moc Hoa District Photography Club. His collection of photos depicts the daily life and beauty of nature. Vam Co Tay is a river from Cambodia that flows through Long An territory with a length of more than 150 km and bends into many sections. Thanks to this natural condition, Long An forms an eco-tourism route from Tan Lap floating village to Floating pagoda and Lang Sen Wetland Reserve.

The author captures the scene of children herding buffaloes and playing kite flying in the field, an emotion coming back when remembering the verses: 

"My hometown is a blue kite

My childhood was flying in the field

My hometown is a small boat

Quiet water along the river" in the poem Homeland by poet Do Trung Quan.
