Wet entrance, a photo from Thua Thien-Hue, North Central Coast

Photographer's Note

Please open each photo in a new tab for the bigger, better version.
This photo was taken shortly after yesterday's main photo after we had waded through the flood waters to arrive at the closed main entrance to Hue's Đại Nội Citadel.
As I took this photo the man standing in the water in front of the gate also took a photo of us standing in the water.
In the WS is a photo of detail of the main building along to the right of the main photo.
The other WS photo was taken the next day of part of the rear of the building requiring repair work.
My wife has reminded me that the shoes that she was wearing as we worked our way through the water were ruined and never left Hue.

Hello Ian,
That man does more than the usual animation of the view, he also shows us exactly what level the water reached. You got an amusing photo, and so did he, so you were all happy (and wet). I remember many buildings in this large complex in great need of repairs, which is shown in the WS. Not that much seems to have been done in the 16-18 years since my visits.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Ian,
i was surprised how quiet this wonderful complex was when I was there. Such a difference with the imperial city of Beijing.
Fine photo where the human figure provides the scale perfectly.
thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Hi Ian,

The presence of the person is animating the scene. The point pf view is showing the details of the Hue's Dai Nôi Citadel. The rain has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ian,

No pleasant visit in water, the entrance it seems a more swimming pool.
I like the frontage, but also your picture with repair image.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant to look at.
Composition and presentation are excellent.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

hello Ian, You were lucky to see this guy standing in the water. Amazing Vietnamese architecture. There are so many objects to visit there. After 10 years I do not quite recognize them. I must look in my archive to refresh my memory.
Best regards MAlgo

Hello Ian,
A great close-up photo of this wonderful building with lots of fine details, especially the yellow and red walls between the beautiful roofs. Good inclusion of the lonely person as well.

Ciao Ian,

I had similar weather in Hue. Good sharpness and the intrepid man standing in the rain provides a good focal point as well as scale. Tfs!

Hi Ian,
Very interesting architecture and I would not hesitate to ruin my shoes to be able to walk around there. Nice that the architecture has some vibrant colors it makes it to stand out of the picture taken on the cloudy day,
Very well done,
M

Hello Ian,
I can see the other photographer in the photo is up to his/her ankles. I hope you had a chance to see the interior the next day.
