Mekong Sunset

Sunset scene on the banks of the Mekong in Vientiane (Laos). The other side of the river is Thailand. The Mekong river knows large seasonal variations, with flooding in November and droughts in January-April. This year, the river is at record lows, in part caused by drought in Southern China and Laos itself. This follows record floods in November 2008. Photo taken in November 2009.
