Wooden fence on a Mekong bank, around a small cultivated island
The woman is unraveling a tuft of thread and the man is spading. Now specified in the description -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:43, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't notice the cat before. Nice touch! PumpkinSky talk 03:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, thanks ǃ -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:33, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No crocs nor sharks :-) It's a protection to prevent intruders from cultivating the same land. This small area certainly doesn't belong to anyone officially, or the official owner just doesn't care. Since this tiny island is totally submerged during the monsoon, the first locals who decide to settle there after the recession of the Mekong need to give a clear signal to the neighborhood that the domain is not available anymore -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:31, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
