Ha Long Bay Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

After 2 weeks and half of hard travel from Saigon to the Northern Vietnam we arrived at Ha Long.
And there aren't words to describe it!
Sure it is one of the wonder of the nature of the whole world!

From Wikipedia:
"Vịnh Hạ Long"—Halong Bay—means "Bay of the Descending Dragon" in the Vietnamese language.
The bay consists of a dense cluster of 1969 limestone monolithic islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, which rise spectacularly from the ocean.
The bay was World Heritage listed by UNESCO.

What a marvelous sky.. Great picture, maybe a little more light on the rocks on first plan will add more life to the photo. Thanks for sharing..

Indeed a mysterious blue view with deep coloring and reflections in the water. I think a gradual burning of the sky on top could take us easy deeper in the picture. Nicely done Paola.

Magnifique paysage. Très joli rendu des montagnes en contre-jour sur ce fond nuageaux.
Very nice shot.

It looks a bit like a cliche from Vietnam. But it is so beautiful. Great colours. Great blue.

Nice view of Halong Bay. The strong contrast makes the scenery quite mystical
