Hello everyone in the Hive community. ๐ How are you today?
I am Thanh Tuan and this is the first time that I connect with the Photography Lovers. I'm thrilled to have found this community and look forward to becoming a member. I hope that my articles and shares reach everyone and receive widespread support. I am very grateful for that. In this post, I would like to share some of the photos I took during a garden walk in Daklak. I enjoy the human life here, especially the trees, flowers, and exotic fruits that nature provides.
Strange fruit
"Hแบกt dแปi" - Doi seeds
Doi is a tall woody plant with few branches that grows naturally in the forest. Typically, ethnic people in Vietnam's mountainous areas go to collect fallen seeds to sell in October and November. Because the seeds of sticky rice are very fragrant, even when dried, it is used as a condiment with the familiar name "Northwest Black Gold." Doi seeds are used as a seasoning in a variety of dishes to impart a distinct Northwest flavor, such as when combined with mac Khen to make a dipping or marinating seasoning for kitchen buffalo meat and pork.
This nut is usually found in the Northwest or Central Highlands of Vietnam, rather than the plains. I had the opportunity to learn about this nut while on a trip with my sister to Daklak province in the Central Highlands.
Flowers
Each house grows a lot of several flowers and ornamental plants. I asked a sister's friend, who drove us to his house.
"Why are there so many flowers and ornamental plants in every house here?" I inquired.
He responded, "Everyone here makes a living by cultivating fields on the hard ground. The sun causes skin burns. However, the people here are very poetic and adorable. They plant flowers to distract themselves from the difficulties of daily life, and when they look at the flowers, they feel more in love with life."
His responses strike me as very insightful. The sun appears to burn every day when I visit here. However, people continue to wear rudimentary clothes to work in such harsh conditions. Very commendable.
When I first arrived in the Central Highlands, I was captivated by the enigmatic wild beauty of this place where mountains and clouds meet. The open space melts away the stresses of everyday life. In the following articles, I will describe the beautiful sights and spots that I have visited in Dak Lak province, where nature and people coexist.
Traveling and discovering new and interesting things around the S-shaped country of Vietnam, my hometown is one of my hobbies. See you all in my future posts. And thank you to everyone who stopped by my blog today. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
