These two ancient pagoda are just few hours west of Hanoi. It was amazing for me to visit both of them; it’s a deep immersion into ancient Vietnamese history, tradition, architecture, religion and culture.

In both of these pagodas, you can breath a serene and beautiful atmosphere, you can admire over 100 statues filling the prayer halls, you can see amazing sculptures and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscapes.

In this gallery you can find some of the pictures taken that day.

In less than one month we’ll go back to get pictures in a Photographic studio.

I’m thinking about to experiment new lighting techniques but at the same time we already know what we want to archive, the style of the pictures and the kind of lighting to use.

Well, we have many ideas and hopefully i will able to post a new studio gallery in about 1 month.

Before that there are still others 6 or 7 gallery about Vietnam that I’m going to publish soon and probably in few weeks I’ll finish to put order in an other studio session i had few days ago.

There are also new Macro shoots and other little projects going on, well, i really hope to have the time to post all of them, we’ll see

Vietnamese people are cool, generally they are  friendly and ready to help.

Walking around Hanoi it is usual to see very charming places on of course charming people that make Hanoi a unique city.

In this gallery you can find some pictures taken in Hanoi of people that have captured my attention.

With this pictures i don’t want to describe Hanoi population and/or life style, i just would like to share with you my touristic point of view of a little bit of Hanoi.

Traffic in Vietnam is something that attract me a lot Not because here in UK or in any European country there aren’t big traffic jam, just because is “different” and “noisy”.

I never saw so many bikes and motorbikes on the road as like in Hanoi and Saigon and it’s amazing how much horns and beepers are used.

Let’s say that probably road rules are a bit more “easy” than here in UK, so sometime it’s possible to see something really unusual.

In this gallery i have collected few pictures of bikes and motorbikes taken in Hanoi and Saigon. The gallery doesn’t want to describe the reality of traffic in Vietnam, it just my touristic view of some unusual aspects of it.
