Vietnam: one day at a time

A bit of shade in the noonday heat

This somewhat rickety looking hut is a place where the farmer can take a siesta after lunch if he's out working in the fields. It's up on stilts so the occupant won't be disturbed by passersby - since the only dry land around here is the public path, that seems to be a necessary adaptation. The baskets hanging underneath are fish traps. I wasn't sure whether anyone was in there, so I didn't look inside, but it's possible that it's also used to store some stuff - as long as, like the fish traps, it's stuff that is so commonplace around the village that nobody would want to steal it. The door was open, but then it didn't look as if it could be closed either.
