Hà Nội, Việt Nam










the highway

































Trấn Quốc Pagoda


















on the left is the remaining wall from the french-built 'hanoi hilton,' and on the right is the office tower that was built on top of it









the hanoi-saigon main line
























school's out...






















































police office and lottery vendor















the guy who hangs up rousing patriotic banners









Khâm Thiên street memorial. The street was obliterated by b-52s during the 1972 christmas bombings









the pet store












making funeral wreaths









Hồ Trúc Bạch... the lake where john mccain's plane landed









a street barber



burning fake money for buddha






condensation on my lens






tribal statue at the museum of ethnography...

WOW!! amazing pictures, captures the grit, realism and daily life of a city. I'd look at these pictures anytime over those fancy high rises and construction pics of, say...Dubai or Las Vegas. Just my opinion, but these pictures capture the heart and soul of a city.
