TITLE: Mountain Playground
Motorbiking from south to north of Vietnam, I was exposed briefly to the lives that are lived in small mountain villages. Its scary to witness these dangerous roads let alone drive on them. But these are just the locals normal everyday surroundings. Their home and back garden.
When I noticed the kids playing with metal poles and concrete on the side of the road. I stopped in surprise and also in fear. Where they were playing probably had a 100ft+ sloping drop just behind. I knew it would be a moment I wouldn't forget, the comparison to my youth just rushing around my mind. So I just naturally snapped away.
