Photographer's Note
In Hue we went for a half a day excursion to see Imperial Tombs. Spread out in the countryside near Hue, generally along the banks of the Perfume river, they are the tombs on the Nguyen rulers who made Hue the capitol of Vietnam from 1802 to about 1945. We saw three tombs (out od six), all in different style.
The tombs are in fact complexes of palaces. The emperors supervised the building of the tombs and spent a lot of time there (before they reminded there for ever).
Pity it raind without stop but it had its charm too.

Hello Malgorzata,
An image that clearly shows you can make successful pictures in the rain. I think the rainy atmosphere does indeed add to the charm here. I like the point of view looking across the wet bridge toward the temple. The people with their umbrellas enliven the scene and contribute to the atmosphere. Pleasing soft light and colours; good sharpness.

Hi Malgo
the rain adds such a wonderful atmosphere to this shot. A beautiful composition with rain droplets visible in the fg that add that little touch of magic. Executed expertly in what looks like difficult conditions. Bravo!
Have a great day - Brian.

Hi Malgo,
It is a pity for you that you seem to have had so much rain during your time in Vietnam, but it has given your pictures a fine "moody" appearance and also the rain brings out colours nicely!
This is a nicely composed shot with the bridge and the people carrying umbrellas taking the viewer up to the little temple. The mist has added to the charm. Good colours, perfect exposure and excellent detail.
An interesting note too!
Lovely!
Kind Regards,
John.

Hello Malgorzata
The joys of rainy season traveling. You can be lucky, or you can be wet. Though I can imagine you preferring a sunnier time to visit Hue, the resulting picture here certainly has no lack of atmosphere. Good use of the intruding branches to frame the shot.

Priwet, Malgorzata,
I can feel this wet wet wet day. Just a double sence, you can make a lot of original photos, this water is not the best sulution for you as a tourist. Anyway, I can image this athmosphere. It reminds me my rain trip around Verona.
Pozdrawiam!

Hi Malgorzata,
at very brief first sight this photo looks sort of symmetrical, but, of course, it is not, and, in fact, the scene is full of very different details - first of all, it's the trees and bushes which attract my attention.
The hazy atmosphere of the place and moment - the rainy mood! - was captured perfectly, imho :) and it is so nicely enlivened by the picturesque temple and the bright colors of the umbrellas!
There is no such thing as "bad weather", and, of course, I agree that rain does have its charm, too :)
warm regards,
Elena
It's still freezing hard in Moscow!

Hello Malgo,
I saw large parts of the citadel in Huι and the famous pagoda I have shown here long ago (and again next time). My second time I met a former military commander who showed me the citadel and I also used the city as a base for a tour of battlefields further up the country. But I didn't see the imperial tombs. This is a nice photo in spite of the rain. The umbrellas and raincoats create a good atmosphere and provide nice colours. The rain and mist also look nice from a safe dry distance.
Best regards,
Gert
