Photo of the Day: Boys riding water buffaloes in Vietnam

I kind of want to ride a water buffalo. Do you think it's like riding an elephant? (I haven't done that, either, so I guess it doesn't matter.) These two boys look quite at home on top of these creatures, and they're bareback, yet!

Besides the subject matter, I like the colors in this photo - the vivid green against the gray skies and animals. I wonder what is growing in the background.
