Sometimes I come across posts on social media where some photographers go around trying to substantiate their views on the ground that they are Award Winning Photographers. Now, do really awards determine one’s photographic ability and all the associated ken? While I admire most award-winning photographs, I may not agree with the opinions of most award-winning photographers on subjects related to image making. There is no general truth in art apart from may be things like the Fibonacci sequence et al. What I believe is that winning an award does not make one a superlative photographer, and this is not a case of sour grapes for me, even though I have not seen my name on award lists except some aberrant instances. In any case, my images are probably not deserving either, but that does not take away from me enjoying photography and trying to improve my knowledge.
Something I needed to be out of my head. Done with. As for the image, one dark, dreary drizzly day amidst the Covid enforced bindings, I had been out driving and in a part on the edges of town, by the road where the forest pushes against it, I espied a small brook emanating from the denseness of the forest, a gurgle of joyousness amidst the sternness of the foliage on that overcast, drizzly day. Luckily for me, my cam was in the car and so was my tripod, so parking myself by the road, I tried to make a frame, of the brook as it streamed on, while the fog/mist entwined itself in those plants and trees.

We visited the two neighbouring villages of Lao Chai and Ta Van in the Muong Hoa Valley. The rice terraces gently rise up the sides of the hills and mountains surrounding the villages.
Lao Chai is the home of the Black Hmong whilst Ta Van is the home of the Dzai. These are two of the many minority peoples in north Vietnam.

Some fun with filters on this one. A Watercolour filter has been applied along with various post production effects. The original shot was taken with a slower shutter speed to blur the cascading water.
In the American cities, the main church is located in the central square, but in the case of the San Gabriel village, it is located at a block of distance from the main plaza and reproducing what the Indian laws (Leyes de Indias) mentioned in the case of the main temple: "In Mediterranean places the temple is not build in the square, but somewhat distant from it, .... and that it can be seen of all parts and better venerated.
This is the only church in Ecuador that has been build that way.
Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it and
will always try to reciprocate with a visit back to your stream.
