Overdued on Vietnam (1)


Between the sky and the lake.


There was no longer a conscious effort at some point to document the trip through my camera lens. I'd worry if there wasn’t enough light, or my composition was crap. I guess that’s why this post is kinda overdue, many of the photos turned out to be pretty uninspired. And I was lazy. I just wanted to soak up the sun, smile and smoke.

Hey kiddo.

Let’s start with Ha Long Bay. One of my favourite part of the trip, and one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to so far. We spent two days on one of those touristic junk boats with a few other travellers. Sadly, Ha Long Bay have been laden with such heavy touristic burden that I believe some of its natural charm were spoiled. But it was still breathtaking.

The weather was just gorgeous. We got to see Ha Long Bay in its multiple facades; against the clear blue sky, the amazing sunset, the magical hour and the misty, magnificently mysterious morning when it rained the next day.
