Eight years ago we took a trip to Southeast Asia that included Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. We spent several days a a resort in Northern Laos and daily took excursions into the countryside.
This photo was taken after driving a couple hours up windy dirt roads through small hamlets. This trails led through the thick grasses to a spot where we climbed up a very large rock where we could see all around. Even though it was hot and humid I wore a long sleeve jacket through the brush as the thick, tall blades of grass would cut your skin.
The photo takes me back to this afternoon with the deep greens of the grass, the surrounding mountains and the cloudy skies.
