The Vientiane presidential palace, the King of Lao and a market by night
(Sorry for the blurry photos)
Why picture sites by night in the dark in situations that are not really convenient?
Because the lights on the sites were and are beautiful, abundant and unfortunately realize we couldn't render the splendour we've seen.
As I write about these shoots, I remember this friend in Vientiane who told me that most of the properties companies and more in Laos were owned by Vietnamese owners which also brings back the speech the General de Gaulles had in Vietnam during the war and that he warned the Americans to stop and give up the war because they'd lose and it would be a blood bath.
To get to the point that as the end of the war was approaching in terrible circumstances as we know terrible both for Vietnam and the USA, to get back to America and for the planes to be lighter to return, and we know how much petrol gas and fossil oils are important for the Americans and others, the US bombers dropped all their bombs on Lao mostly in the valleys of the jars (vallee des jarres) while though it's difficult to believe, the Laos country was not participating in the Vietnam war.
