Impressive Tay Ninh buffalo wool season seen from above

Waking up at dawn, tourist Nguyen Van May rode his motorbike from Ho Chi Minh City to Tay Ninh (formerly Long An) to capture the moment a buffalo crawled through a flooded field.

In mid-June, in the fields of Tram Lac (Duc Hoa district, Long An province, now Tay Ninh province), Nguyen Van May (32 years old, software engineer) was present early in the morning to record the image of the "buffalo wool season" typical of the West.

"Buffalo season" is the term used by people in the Southwest region to refer to the time when the fields are flooded from July to October of the lunar calendar. Buffaloes and cows are let loose by the people to find grass on high ground to feed and avoid floodwaters. The word "len" in Khmer means "to go freely", referring to the act of grazing buffaloes freely on land above floodwaters.

As a photography and travel enthusiast, May learned about Tram Lac and the "buffalo herding season" in advance. He waited for the moment when the buffaloes were just coming out to the fields to feed, excitedly taking photos of the buffalo herd from above.

The scene captured through the lens was a herd of about 30-40 buffaloes, wading through flooded fields and wallowing in puddles. "I patiently waited for the moment when the buffaloes all waded into the grasslands to capture the most beautiful and vivid frames," May said.

According to the male tourist, photos taken from above give viewers new emotions with diverse perspectives. The scenery becomes more majestic and the composition is clearer.

"I like to capture moments of 1-2 buffaloes grazing on green fields or when buffaloes are bathing in flooded fields," he shared.

For May, buffalo wool season is not only a material for photography, but also a cultural slice of the people of the West.

"The buffalo herding season is as beautiful as a vivid countryside painting, where mud, early morning sun and laughter blend together in peaceful nature," said a male tourist.
