Si Phan Don, Laos. 2006
Si Phan Don is an area of the Mekong river dotted with islands and islets. It means 'four thousand islands', which may or may not be an exaggeration, but is a remarkably round number if it's not.
The water is completely opaque with mud so the fish have absolutely no idea where they are going. Fishermen just lay out long nets across the flow and later haul them in, complete with a few fish who have wondered for several hours why they weren't going anywhere.
