Dear Ipi ,
Very expressive photo, relaxing and full of meanings, perhaps due to the colors of dawn and the serenity on the people faces contrasting to the hurry walk on the pier ,and illustrated perfectly by your text, quite a sketch movie, with sounds and movements
A beautifull piece of Da Nang , so well captured and express under your eyes and feelings . Writed with such sensibility and shade of colors -like a painter- , I can imagine the changing of colors and times through the day and smell the breeze of the wind through the changing form of the clouds in the sky .Wish I can write like you Duc !
Your comparison between the early wake up and transition of this day in Da Nang with the wake up and changing on a modern and comfortable life for many people is pertinent and really well found
"Walking on the Pier to the future ? "
I had this feelings too , specially the last times I came back to VN ,waking up early in the morning and walking slowly around the Hoan Kiem lake before starting my work day ,and before the noisy traffic and human crowd jump on the city . I saw this incredible light in the sky above the mist of the lake , and like you in Da Nang, the people training Tai Chi around the corner in a slowly zen ballet in the early daw , so peacefull !
Not far away , the new areas of buildings around the South Hô Tây (Khu Dô Thi Moi ) scaped their form in the sky above the West Lake

Thank you HyH :)
ReplyDeleteYou show 2 very different magnificent aspects of your photographer's art here : one picture is so lush, so luxuriant, with iridescent shades of greens, and such exuberant redness on the Thê Hu'c bridge, with shimmering fuzziness around, and the other picture, such a sad sepia tone, with its soft, nice melancholy and nostalgia being unrelelentingly crushed by the savagery of the the twin monstrous hotels in the background.
You understood me certainly, I consider these ugly outcroppings in the South Hô Tây to be absolute insults to the face of Hanoi culture. A little like the Diamond Plaza behind Vuong Cung Thanh Duong in Saigon.
I love looking at your pictures, these last ones, for the emotions they create.
Hi Duc
Merci beaucoup HDuc, voilà qu 'on cause in english maintenant !
ReplyDeleteAgain . your colorfull feelings on my photos are sharper than what at fisrt I felt , perhaps because in the reality, quiétude and poetry are now gone away with the chaotique development of arcitecture and urbanism specially in megalopoles like SG or HN - it's going better now - but may be living in comfortable and new houses would be better for the inhabitants ? Fortunately ,historic vestiges and monuments still remain in the countryland and can say, better restored now than in the past decade !
Same feelings for me as yours, looking at your DN pier and Han River twilight
Cheers
HyH
