About 2 hours drive to Kien Tuong - Moc Hoa from SG. Two small towns that are close to Cambodia border. Each year around September, a raining season here, so all the rice fields are flooded with water. Locals call it "nuoc lu" season.

Please enjoy some of the pictures I took earlier September 2014 on a vacation trip.

Enjoy

Nice shots. It is fascinating to see the man standing in waist-deep water, something that would be impossible in a flood where I grew up in eastern PA. Thanks for the shots.

Thanks Jack.

In the Mekong delta the land is very really flat; so in a normal season these are rice fields. I will show some other pictures in the areas close by later.

Would love to see the photos. In August 2011 I spent a few days in and around My Tho including some time in boats on the canals a bit south (I think) of the city. The rest of the time was in Saigon. Took several thousand photos in ten days.

Thank you. I was in Moc Hoa in about 1966 for a few weeks.

Wow,

I know how you feel Warrior.....

So much change now, the freeways are all over places that I could not recognize either.

Best regards

Wow Sarge69!

Moc Hoa was one of the most dangerous area where you were at during that time!

I will post some more pictures of Moc Hoa on the top.

Best regards

I was sent to install a radio van for the Special Forces team out near the airport. Their radio van was destroyed in an attack.

I went there from Dong Tam base near My Tho
