FEELING FROM AN ACCEPTED PICTURE OF HEALTHY CITIES PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST

The picture entitled “ Fishing along the river” has been accepted by Alliance for Healthy Cities photography contest in Gangnam-Seoul, Korea. The Vietnamese photographer winner is the only person participating in the contest and second participant of ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations) after Malaysia take this prize, Mr. Truong Huu Quoc Huy, staff of The Fund for Encouragement of Self- Reliance.

The background of this picture is the river gate of the Central region, a gentle river which flows into the generous and peaceful East sea. That is what a Vietnam national river . Right in the middle of the picture is a scared flag, a beloved traditional conical hat of laborious fisher with dug-out canoe, and aslo there is a verdure of quiet village and Truong son mountain shap looming in the distance . All is symbol for Vietnamese nation and an adored land of Vietnamese.

Not far from the river gate, there is an island expected to return the motherland – Vietnam as a children has seperated from large family.

The light of the photo shows the morning time, the fishermen are preparing for the first fish-catching of the day. It’s so quiet and peaceful! Oh, Vietnam’s sea! Vietnam homeland; many generation have sacrified for the peace today.

Rest in peace, please!.., the hard-working fishermen are still being watched by many coastal  security antenna systems, our hearts, our souls, and the photographer who captured this photo at the very Vietnam moment. The white ducks swim behind the fishermen make the stress for the romance and strength but very simply of the artistic photo. Vietnam’s sovereignty is shown as such many simple images.
