A highland woman wearing a conical sunhat walks a buffalo past a girl doing washing in wet-rice fields at Mai Chau. The woman, who wears a long dark skirt and T-shirt, leads the buffalo along an earthern dyke that separates rice fields and helps them retain water at the appropriate levels during their growing season.
