On the Swing, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

I spotted her in Siem Reap, Cambodia area while she was playing on the swing. Local villagers were very friendly and willing to be photographed. Visiting villages by foreign photographer seems to be a rather unusual event or local children. Therefore it is always a great chance to take great natural photos.
