Inside the Literature Temple Photo

Photographer’s Note

Day I
I had been walking all the day. I was drunk with the noises of the city. I entered the Literature Temple and suddenly I was in a oasis of silence and peace. I staid there a long time just to enjoy this first quiet moment of the day.
What an atmosphere !

Hallo Stephane,
It must have rained and just dried up a little. It gives a marvellous hazy atmosphere. One that keeps the noise outside.
It must be a pleasure to rest here.

Bonsoir Stephane
Oui, c'est une oasis de calme dans ce concert de klaxons qu'est Hanoi.
Belle image.

You chose a good point of view that was a little low and on a nice angle across. The path is nicely focused on from here, too, leading us right past the great textures in the image and into the misty and rainy conditions. The heavy trees and shade on the left side also help in creating the feel of sheltering under a tree while the rain comes down. And that covered area at the end seems like a perfect place to seek refuge from rain. Nicely captured. I really like having these conditions every now and then.

ah, pas de chapeau pointu mais un bel endroit avec cette construction. Bien cadré, et parfait en perspective; Bravo pour cette ambiance bien soutenue par les tons des couleurs.

Bonsoir Stéphane,
Il y effectivement tout une atmosphère dans ta photo, de calme et d'exotisme avec tous ces éléments typiquement asiatiques. Il doit faire bien humide de manière générale, vu le dessus de mur bien moussu.
Il s'agit d'un temple de quelle religion?
Je suis curieux de voir la suite...

Hello Stephane. This scene is a real treat for the eyes. It looks steamy, as if it has just rained or there is a "Scotch mist." The atmosphere and warmth are well conveyed in the shot, and I love the diversity of orange, red, and green colours. A most successful shot. Regards.

Mysterious ambience thanks to the fog/haze. Very nice composition as the path leads the eyes around the complex.
