Smile of 2nd night at Cau May street in Sapa

The attack of "take my picture!" in a small village gave me a hints on a portrait.
I prepared for my attack (lol) and went to Cau May street again.

サパ2日目の夜。
昼間の村で受けたエジプト並の「撮れとれ攻撃」でいろいろ思うところがあり、ホテルで下準備をしてから町に出掛けた。

Where the sound of guns doesn't pound in your ears anymore

Have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all
Where the air you breathe is soft and clean
And children play in fields of green
And the sound of guns doesn't pound in your ears anymore
"Lost horizon"

Only 37 years have passed since the end of Vietnam war.
I can't imagine it when I see this beautiful scene.
I wish this Shangri-la will be for ever.

眼前に広がる光景は静かだが満ち足りて生き生きとしていた。
しかしこの地が激しい戦争で血に染まってからまだ37年しか経っていない。
ずっとこの風景が続きますように。

Thank you for accepting to take portrait

I went to a small village.
A young woman in the village hesitated getting her picture taken at first.
But once she saw her mother's pictures that I took, she entered in her house and came back with well dressed up and asked me to take picture :D
When I finished to take her pictures, another young woman waited me for picture.
I took pictures of 2nd young woman, 3rd woman asked me...

小さな村を訪れた。
若い娘さんに写真を撮らせてくださいと頼んだが、首を縦に振ってくれなかった。
しかし撮らせてくれたお母さんの写真をカメラのモニターで見ると、家の中に入りきれいに着飾って戻ってきた。
娘さんの写真を撮らせていただいていると、別の娘さんも着替てやってきた。
ふたりの撮影を終えると、別の娘さんが正装して待っていた(爆
彼女の写真を撮っているとまた別の女性が(以下省略)
