This image plunges us into a typical landscape in central Vietnam, near Hoi An. It shows a vast shallow pond or marsh, dotted with aquatic vegetation, where water buffalo roam or rest peacefully. The clear blue sky reinforces the impression of tranquillity. Nature is omnipresent, with dense reeds, expanses of greenery and a few houses visible in the distance, a reminder of the harmonious coexistence between man and his environment.
The water buffalo, essential to Vietnamese rural life, are here in their natural element. Traditionally used to work the rice fields, they also help to maintain the wetlands. The scene exudes serenity, but also bears witness to the rhythm of agricultural life that continues in this region, far from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.
This type of landscape offers an authentic glimpse of rural Vietnam, where time seems to stand still. With daylight, reflections on the water and lush vegetation, this photograph captures a simple yet profoundly evocative moment of the beauty of the Vietnamese countryside.
