Today I want to share one of my favorite photos of my recent trip to Vietnam with you. And it's not a landscape photo ;-)

I took this photo in Old Quarter in Hanoi, while wandering around in the evening, looking for interesting subjects to photograph.

As I stumbled upon this scene I instantly knew that I had found something special for a few reasons.

First I could setup my tripod in the middle of one of the many street bars. Such a place which is right in the middle of it, yet provides enough space to setup a tripod is quite rare.

Then this scene contained everything that I find so characteristic about Hanoi. Old buildings, street bars with tiny chairs, a busy street, lots of details wherever you look and lots of colors.

Also, I have just released a new Vlog about photographing Hanoi.
