One of the things I search for when visiting any travel scene is density of color. I certainly found just that in the Long Xuyen market, a river town deep in the Mekong Delta. The goods were colorful, the clothing even more so. And here one of its vendors is having breakfast from a richly painted red bowl. Greens, blues, reds and yellows dominate the image. These colors give the image an energy and beauty that no black and white version could equal.
