Is Anybody There? by Ryszard Wierzbicki

The is another of my photograph taken in Ngong Khiaw in northern Laos. The girl was looking inside of the classroom in a small village in northern Laos. Even though is it a small village, Nong Khiaw has a plenty of charm with a decent range of accommodation, 24 hour electricity and a connection to the road network for those interested in exploring the surrounding area and photographing locals.
