Where is it Alec? it is so beautiful and interesting, I would like to visit there as well,( maybe with Spencer ;-)) very nice and colorful child.

Perfect shot

 

Thanks guys, Pnina, you will have to go to Hanoi, Vietnam. From there you can take a night train with sleeping berth for a 9 hours ride to Lao Cai station which is near the China border. From here it is a two hours journey to the highlands of SaPa. You have to be there on a Sunday to get to the Bac Ha market (sometimes called the love market where locals find lovers). Definitely not to be missed. ^_^

Quite a sad smile.

Beautiful documentary street shot, full of feelings.

Now, that's what I call an intense look, great work Alec.

Excellent capture,Alec.

Wonderful eyes. Congrats.

Very beautiful image. I shot a picture like this this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. The guy also had a runny nose. Small world.
