Arranging Rice in Luang Prabang

by Norman Gates

Mist rests on the Mekong riverbank as a local vendor arranges bright orange sticky rice mounds on a bamboo mat, the damp air causing condensation to bead on the rim of a nearby blue and white porcelain plate. Folding stools sit empty in the foreground, their wooden legs slick with river moisture, while a coiled hose nozzle rests incongruously near a stack of plastic basins used for washing vegetables. The soft gray light diffuses through the fog, highlighting the texture of the rice and the smooth glaze of the ceramic, creating a quiet moment of preparation before the tourist boats arrive. One wrinkled linen towel is draped over a railing, absorbing the morning dew.
