The Thu Bon River flows inland to Hoi An from the South China Sea. From the 16th to the 18th century, it made Hoi An an international trading port. Today Hoi An is a World Heritage site. The two figures and two boats at the edge of the river repeat each other, creating a rhythmic focal point for this image. I made this image at sunset, taking care to emphasize the repetition by making the tourists on the bridge in the background slightly darker and softer.
