In Laos’ sleepy little capital city, Vientiane, there is a large area of land along the Mekong River front that has been set aside as parkland. Every evening that I was in the city, I went down to the river front to sit and watch the beautiful sunset over the river.
Locals and tourists a like come to this area to walk, ride bikes, exercise and watch the sunset, and I always found it a great time to do some people watching. This photo essay covers one particular evening when the sunset was one of the best that I have seen.
The sun begins to set
A lone fisherman makes his way up the Mekong River
A man walks along the river bank
The moon comes out as people watch the sunset
A group of students walk along the river bank
A shower of rain comes in from the right
Rowers comes down the Mekong River
…and then head back up stream
The sun sets on the Mekong River
Love that last photo. Looks like a pot of gold is being dropped from above.
The sky was certainly golden. Glad you liked the photo Sophie. Cheers
Looks absolutely amazing! I would so love to spend some quality time there.
Hey Spencer. It’s a great place to just sit and think…and what a view!
Fabulous photos…love those big puffy clouds! I’ve never been to Laos before, but these flicks have definitely inspired me to add it to the list!
Hi Jess. Laos is a very interesting and beautiful country that is definitely worth travelling to. Glad you liked the photos 🙂
