In Front Of The Gate Of A School

Shot in the village of Ban Xieng Maen on the opposite side of Luang Prabang, Laos.

There was an elementary school in the village. It was already after school and many school girls were playing in front of its gate. All of them were wearing sinh, a traditional garment for women in this country. Maybe it was a uniform of their school.

When I stood and watched the school kids, a girl passed by me while she was sunk in thought. She put her hand on her chin and closed her eyes. Her gesture was cute.
