(Baonghean.vn) - Winter has come, and persimmon trees are still ripening bright red in a corner of the sky in the Western region of Nghe An. The cold of the border region has caused all the persimmon leaves to fall, leaving only the branches laden with delicious fruits.
 |
Winter comes, rose gardens in the Western region of Nghe An are bright red throughout the villages. |
 |
The rose branches had fallen leaves, leaving only heavy fruits. |
 |
Rose leaves are bare all over the paths leading to the village. |
 |
Ripe red persimmons cover the roofs of Mong people's houses in Tay Son commune (Ky Son). |
 |
...and in the middle of the school yard of the border commune of Na Ngoi (Ky Son). |
 |
Some trees still have a few leaves to withstand the cold winter. |
 |
Occasionally, Mong children still pick sweet ripe persimmons from the trees to eat. The red color of the fallen persimmon trees 'lights' a fire to warm the highlands on cold days. |
