221206 Phou Fa, Phongsaly

'That' (chedi) atop Phou Fa:

Sometimes you wonder about the wish and life behind each candle, each offering:

PC220045
PC220043

Incredible how you can have such places almost all to yourself. There was no one around except for a few Lao having a little picnic behind the 'that'. The surviving plants in the row of pots surrounding the structure were bare, all flowers having been plucked for use as offerings.
