(Baonghean.vn) - Winter has come, and the persimmon trees are still ripening bright red in a corner of the sky in the Western region of Nghe An. The cold of the remote border region has caused all the persimmon leaves to fall, leaving only the branches heavy 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. |
 |
Bare leaves rose all over the paths leading to the village. |
 |
Ripe red persimmons cover the roofs of Mong 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 have a few leaves left 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. |
