A Sapa Girl and a Horse by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Sapa is a mountain region of North Vietnam with a specific local culture and traditional colorful clothing. People you meet on trekking are very calm and silent, with a bit of distance for tourists. However it is a great adventure and photographic challenge for every photographer, who travels there. I enjoyed the trip a lot.
