Joyful
Mother and child in a rural village in Laos.
Laos was a French colony at the start of the 20th century. It was a union of two former kingdoms, Luang Prabang and Vientiane. The French administered it as a territory within the protectorate of French Indo-China. After World War II, French Indo-China was divided up into three independent countries within the French Union: Cambodia, Laos (independent on 1949-07-19), and Vietnam.

wonderful photo- such pure, free and uninhibited joy in the woman’s face- child seems to have other things on his mind- seems to be focused intently- almost beyond his years- again wonderful photo
Tatum Wulff replied
Thank you so much for the great comment Fred! Interesting observation on the child.. he does seem just as you said, focused and almost beyond his years…. I never saw this in him before, but it seems so obvious now that you said that! ...thanks for sharing your thoughts on this image! :)
