    Hmong woman, Vietnam

    An overnight train north of Hanoi and close to the Chinese border is a stunning mountainous area with its main town of Sapa. The Hmong people are one of 54 - yes 54- indigenous tribes of Vietnam

    This lovely lady was 95 years old. I asked via my guide if I could take her photo and she said " Why? I am not beautiful"

    Well of course she is... and those hands!!

    I'll post some more shots up of this region and other parts of Vietnam later on

    That’s a good set of photos Bo, definitely the first one for me that is an excellent portrait, the composition is better and so is her expression

              Lovely Bo. Like the first shot the best, but all good.

              I was looking for traditional shots in China, but everyone was dressed in high fashion western clothing.

                  Thanks for looking & your positive comments, chaps.

                  I was so very keen to photograph this woman with a lifetime in her face and body.
                  There were lots of small children and young ladies all dressed in their finery and posing for the passing tourists - with any coin gratefully received. I did take some photos of them but she, sitting apart and watching everyone, was my jewel.

                    Beautifully executed pictures. You should be very proud of them.
