I like the reflection of the tree from the lake.
Thanks LonelyTravelog 🙂

The orange color of the leaves were the first thing that caught my eye that day. Thanks for the visit and the comment 🙂

How peaceful. I love your capture… 🙂
It was so peaceful that we ended up taking strolls by the lake every day for the entire week we were there. Thanks for the visit and lovely comment 🙂
I’ve heard there’s a chaotic traffic in the streets of Hanoi 🙂
greetings by
Traffic was incredibly chaotic and every time we crossed the streets, I was so nervous! Ah but the lake … that was a peaceful oasis 🙂
Beautiful post my friend 🙂

Great reflection cntrasting with the tree, well done!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the visit and lovely comment 🙂
Great photo! Love the colors, the reflection (sunrises, sunsets and reflections are my favorites) in the calm of the lake with the city in the background – the city whose bustle we can certainly imagine.
Those are my favorites too 🙂 It’s wonderful that a busy city like Hanoi has a peaceful pocket like this for people to relax and enjoy. Thanks for the visit and lovely comment 🙂
I like the reflections on the water and the stillness of the water and that the flag is still too. Great photo 🙂
Glad you liked this. Thanks for the visit and kind words 🙂
There is nothing not to like about this picture; it has everything from vibrant color, contrast of dark and lights, creative use of imagery and reflection. Stunning.
Thanks Cara for your lovely comment 🙂 This is one of my favorite photos from our Hanoi trip because it always feels so peaceful.
that’s a very pretty image.
i like the contrast of the real vs the reflection. both looks awesome in their own way 🙂
Thanks Amira for the visit and lovely comment 🙂

Thanks Jo! 🙂 Reflection shots are my one of my favorites but it’s not always that I manage to capture them.
Exquisite photo – i looks like a painting.
Well done …

Thanks Isadora for the lovely comment and visit 🙂
I remember the colorful flag on the island. Hanoi and vietnamise are amazing. Your beautiful photo remind me in a humid and hot afternoon spent to take pictures of people and street life style.
Tks
I couldn’t agree more. Hanoi is a wonderful city, and we too had a great time exploring the streets and taking photos. Thanks for the visit and taking the time to comment 🙂

Thanks Mizz! You’re right about the romance – we saw many Vietnamese couples taking strolls by the lake in the evenings – it was all so sweet 🙂
I love the reflection and the composition is fab!
