Travel Images - Vietnam: Hanoi, Halong Bay & Tam Coc

VIETNAM - HANOI, HALONG BAY & TAM COC

Went for a short trip to North Vietnam, covering Hanoi, Halong Bay & Tam Coc. The weather was appalling and really depressing. It was NOT supposed to be the rainy season, but rained it did throughout the five days we were there. There was no sun and the sky was a complete overcast grey for the whole duration of the trip. This really dampened and washed out my enthusiasm for taking photographs. Nevertheless, I share with you here some impressions of the country as seen from the trip...

Wow, I'm going back to Vietnam for sure after seeing your gallery. Wonderful images of VN. I have not been back for 26 years but I'm going now. Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Even though your trip was a washout weatherwise, your photos have made me more intent on visiting Hoa Lu, and the surounding areas.

You've captured the best of Ha Long Bay. We were there 4 years ago and your photos reminded me of how mystical the place is. Very impressive collection.

We were in N. Vietnam around the same time as you and experienced similar gloomy weather, though spared most of the rain, I enjoyed your gallery, some very nice shots despite the weather !I have put a few pics up and will add more in the next days

The cliffs and shots with rain and mist impress me the most in this collection. Your landscapes are breathtaking. This is a lovely gallery.

When most people put away their camera in the rain, you come back with some impressive images, excellent shots !!!

The weather may have dampened your enthusiasm for photography
yet you captured the spirit and atmosphere of this part of the
world. Congratulations on an excellent gallery. GMV - Richard

A beautiful side of this country I missed when I was there! Well done! Many strong images! V

You got some nice shots inspite of the rain. I was last in Vietnam in '68, did two tours there and hated the rain. Have not been able to bring myself to go back so am glad to see pictures that show me a land I could never really see when I was there. V! Sherwood.

Beautiful gallery. You made a wonderful use of the fog. Congrats. Vote.

I agree with Phil, a lot of atmosphere in your images, good colors, hope you have more....
Phil Douglis23-Mar-2007 21:40
The rain brings much mood and atmosphere to your images, Jeremy. In fact, in many of them, the misty weather is an asset. I am looking forward to more of your Vietnam imagery. I spent a few days in Vietnam myself as part of a cruise in 2001. I liked it so much, that I am going to spend four weeks there in December and January. These images whet my appetite.

Jeremy,
Congratulations for your nice pictures of Vietnam.
Despite the bad weather, you were able to produce excellent pictures which reveal the authentic beauty of the scenery around Halong Bay.
Bravo!

Nice series from Vietnam. I was here in March 05 and Ha Long was foggy and overcast. NO Rain, but we returned this past DEC 06 and took the same trip. Sunshine and many colors of Ha Long Bay. Also took the trip to Sapa, Bac Ha and Hanoi, Do Hang and other places. check out www.pbase.com/ckuhn55 I'm looking forward to more of your pictures
