Picture Perfect: Hoan Kiem Lake at Night, Hanoi, Vietnam

Den Den — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:00:12 +0000

This post is part of a new series entitled ‘Picture Perfect’, published because of my wish to showcase some beautiful travel shots from around the world which didn’t quite make it into regular blog posts or which tell a story on their own and need few words, if any, to describe them.

Schloss Schonbrunn, Vienna: A splash of colour in the Grey

The sky was grey, colourless. Most trees had long shed their leaves, the shrubs shrivelled and lost their green.
