Description
When not tilling in the rice fields or hauling wagons or being otherwise occupied, water buffalo can often be seen standing partially submerged in flooded rice fields, or as seen in this picture, being taken out for grazing. Both the buffalo and the boy on his back are very relaxed - no 'time-is-money' here.
And the boy has no western electronic gimmicks like an I pod or cell phone to keep himself occupied. They always look like they are sleeping, but I have never seen one fall off.
This picture was taken near Hoi An on 24 August 2012, Sig...

Wonderful candid capture - the quality and beauty is right up there with NG
Nobody in this area is going to die of a heart attack because of a hectic lifestyle!
What a lovely way to take time for introspection. Man and beast both just seem to be enjoying life. The baby buffalo is also very cute to see. And I wonder what the white flags indicate. All in all a very intriguing and lovely photo.
The little water buffalo in the middle is cute!
Fantastic capture!
Great capture ! I was smiling when I saw this boy on the back of the buffalo !
So beautifully captured,a wonderful shot********
The greens are so beautiful and the whole scene seems idyllic, although I suppose it is not as easy to live like this as we might think.

I think the white flags act as scare crows to keep birds away!
