    Not technically Nha Trang per se, the following images are of a fishing village on its own island off from the shore of Nha Trang itself.

    The Journey down to Hoi An from Hue
    Some amazing Vietnamese scenery along the way
    Stopped off at the side of the road where some locals were (as I understood it) burning & extracting eucalyptus oil
    Mountains to the West..
    Amazingly blue waters along the coastline
    Eastern part of the Bach Ma National Park with fantastic winding roads and beautiful scenery

  • Ha Long Bay

    Ha Long Bay

    Ha Long Bay is an incredible place. The wondrous, almost alien, beauty of the limescale karsts which tower up around you as you serenely glide by makes for awestruck viewing.  These photos do not do it justice.

  • Hà Nội

    Hà Nội

    I love Hanoi. A beautiful, chaotic swirl of colours, sounds, motion and texture, not to mention wonderful people. I hope these photos somehow portray life and the onslaught the senses were subjected to whilst walking around.

     

    Hanoi! Vietnam! Wires! Wires everwhere, along with people (and mopeds).
    Sneak Peak. In the dark, on his phone.
    Large roundabout near Hoàn Kiếm Lake. Watching the world swarm by.
    Fruit, shops, stuff. ‘Things’ being sold everywhere.
    A woman sorts out her wares. Shops like this – and their owners are everywhere; people perched in amongst goods.
    The organic nature of buildings in Hanoi. There are no rules.
    Pineapple woman. Love the guy behind her – and you can just make out a barbers behind him, out in the open.
    Bars down this street with classic Vietnamese plastic stools.
    Basket Lady.
    Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum. Ho Chi Minh, revered by the Vietnamese, lies in state here.
    A beautiful alleyway hit by the sun.
    This amazing.. street? lined with houses.. and with a train track running smack down the middle.
    No problem, its only a tree.
    Love the lighting on this guy. Not sure what he was up to, fixing something.
    Overlooking Hoàn Kiếm Lake at night.
    Selling her fruit off the back of her bike.
    People in a cafe.
    Love the kids expression.
    No roads are off limits, mopeds can – and will – get anywhere and everywhere.
    Just about to sell something.
    Just lots going on.
    Its Pineapple Woman again!
    Everyday life.

    Long exposure sunrise over Lombok
    Lots of cool paths dotted with bars and shacks.
    This dude is loving it. Bicycles and horses (and walking) are the only ways around the islands.
    Standing out in the coral towards Gili Air
    Beach time imminent.
    Another amazing sunset.
    You can make out Jupiter (to the right) and then Saturn and Mars.
    The interior of the island consists of beach paths, areas for livestock and the locals houses.
    Sunset, a time to relax and contemplate.
