Afternoon at the Nam Ou riverside in the remote and roadless Laoseng minority village of Ban Phoumeuang, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR.
The 425 km long Nam Ou, one of the Mekong river’s major tributaries, connects small riverside villages and provides the rural population with food from fishing. It is a place where children play and families bathe, where men fish and women wash their clothes.
