Vietnam, November 2006.


Mekong Delta from the air
I have always loved the look of farm land and geological formations from planes. In New Zealand you see a rectangular patchwork quilt of paddock. The Mekong by air is an interconnected maze of flooded dykes and drains, all ultimately draining to the sea. For a boy who grew up building dams at Pareora River, the vista is amazing.

Getting to An Giang.
We are helping people in An Giang district. The trip to the office takes about 8 hours from Ho Chi Minh City.








Water World…
Because most everything is under water, one of the best ways of travelling is by water.

And if there is not much dry land for growing field crops, then why not support the crop over water. Here are pumpkins on a trellis.
