This photo was taken by me this summer. It shows the landscapes of a mountain near Sapa,in Vietnam. I took the photo while me and my partner were doing a 12 kilometer trekking,

because we wanted to see the astonishing landscapes and the rice paddies, that is, the typical “rice terraces” you can see on movies. We also visited a Black-H’mongvillage, an ethnic minority who live in the mountains.

Before getting there, we were walking on a very narrow road surrounded by bamboos for about half an hour. Then, we were climbing a mountain for another hour and a half. Then, we came to the place where I took the photo.

In the picture you can see very different details.◦ On the lower left corner, and on the other side of the river, you can see rice paddies and

trees.◦ In the centre of the picture, there is a river. And in the background, on the mountain, you

can see a yellow building, which is the school of the village.

I chose this photo because I really love it. I like the intensity of the colours, and the contrast caused by the sky, the river and the green nature. It is also a great memory of my holidays and a experience I might not live again!
