hanoi at night

Next time I'm back in Hanoi I'm going to force myself to stay up super late and explore the city in the dead of night. The city was overwhelming for me during the day, with all the noise and traffic, but it definitely calmed down at night and created some really beautiful scenes. I admit that I did not stay up very late, nor explore much at night, but when I was out, the city lights and the natural darkness created some stunning contrasts. I'm certain if I had a few more nights to walk around I'd come home with some pretty incredible images!

"Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking, loving, and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning."
