These monks live in a village on the Mekong river in Laos
This is one of the main temples in Vang Vien, Laos. The temple buildings are beautifully ornate and the surrounding garden is peaceful. On this day however, a number of the monks were busy conducting repairs on the building and, the younger ones especially, were scouting in and out of the windows and up and down the ladder as part of their work. They held a group of us captivated, cameras in hand, with their cheeky expression and playful teasing. I loved the strong contrast of the orange robe against the pink building – I think the colours capture the playfulness of the atmosphere even more than the monk’s expression in this case.

This photograph was taken during my travels in Laos, South East Asia. My buddies and I were traveling along the Mekong River by slow boat towards a small town called Luang Probang. Half way through the journey we stopped off at a small village. In this dusty village were wooded huts for houses and lots of children running around (when I say lots I really do mean LOTS). Amongst the children were women trying to sell us beads, bracelets and various garments just to make a dolor. We quickly learned how the families lived together as a community despite not having the basic commodities, technologies and resources which we take for granted. The children seemed very happy to meet us and took a large interest in our cameras and laughed when we showed them their pictures.

Xe Bang Fai cave near the Vietnam border in Laos is one of the world’s biggest and most spectacular river caves. This shot was taken near the downstream entrance after completing a kayaking trip through the 7 kilometre long river passage. The caver standing on the large rock gives some scale to the chamber. The picture was a several-second exposure taken with an olympus waterproof digital camera.

The enormous entrance chamber of Xe Bang Fai cave in Laos,one of the world’s biggest and most spectacular stream caves. Dave gives it some scale. The passages deeper inside this 9km-long cave are, in many places, much bigger, and rarely smaller than the entrance chamber.
A dip into my archives for this one. A couple of years ago we took a holiday to Thailand and Laos, the places we visited in Thailand were very busy for the most part with tourists (including us) being shunted around from tourist attraction to tourist attraction. When we visited Laos in the second part of our holiday it could not have been more of a contrast. This shot is taken from a hotel we stopped in a place called Van Vieng, the scenery was amazing, it was very much like Halong Bay with wonderful worn Limestone Cliffs surrounding us. The shot was taken with my old Nikon 8800 bridge camera which I kind of miss!

Grandmother with grand-daughter in a rural village in Laos. Staying over night in the village, at the whimsical invitation of a woman I met on a local bus, was one of the best chances I ever took on my travels. Spending a couple days with the children, families and elders of this village will remain one of my most memorable of experiences. They were all precious!!!

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.
