Ha Long Bay is known for its thousand of karst limestone islands. It very rarely gets publicity for the many impressive cave systems that exist on those islands. This is one of the many caves that I was able to explore while in Ha Long Bay. It was midday and the harsh sunlight was pouring through the cave opening. All images creatvie commons non commercial

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > The traditional row boats in Vietnam that are still in use look more like giant baskets. The fishermen use these boats to get from their large boats to the shore. During the day the whole harbour is full of them for as far as you can see. All images creative commons non commercial.

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > In the afternoon fisherman line the beach in Mui Ne hoping for a catch. This guy had no issues with me taking pictures of him and was there for hours after I stopped. All images creative commons non commercial

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > In South East Asia Buddha statues like this are common place. This one in Nha Trang, Vietnam was especially large and impressive. It helped the shot that the cloud was suitably epic on that day. All images creative commons non commercial

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > Marble Mountain is just outside of Da Nang in Vietnam. I was in the area for a few days but ended spending most of my time here.

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > Some cloud is so epic, I like to refer to it as 'biblical'. I am not religious in any way at all but it seems to fit this scene. All images creative commons non commercial

Ben Ashmole (ashmolephotography) > This lady was my guide when I trekked through Sapa valley in northern Vietnam. What I like about her tribe is that their traditional dress is so colourful. She did the whole trek wearing flip-flops and put me in my walking boots to shame. All images creative commons non commercial
