Street Photography Potpourri from Hue, Vietnam

in Photography Lovers10 days ago

That's a corner for beginner hairdressers.

The last time, I was near, there was a swarm of young hairdressers there. I almost could hear bees buzzing.

I like how this restaurant looks, with large boiling pans, busy in the afternoon and overcrowded in the evening. But I never ate myself there. Never was inspired to do so. No doubt they always have fresh food but not sure about general cleanliness. Yes, I am picky.

When you sometimes find noodles on the roadside outside a restaurant, as if the soup is trying to escape into the sewer, there is no appetite left at all.

They told me: "Do you want a boat tour, only 100.000 dong" (4$). I answered: "Love it! But no". A great verbal formula, I should keep it in mind.

But let me look back and complain now.

Jeez, we had A LOT of rain!

Gloomy days with drizzles and puddles, a long row by another long row,

with a flood as a culmination.

Look at these guys, how sweetly they are hibernating in chairs during the rainfall. Rain means much fewer customers. But if you have few customers on sunny days, rain means a day off that can eventually turn into a week-long vacation. Hibernation as a travel destination for that kind of vacation... is a great choice since it's easy to plan it and it costs nothing.

Vietnamese lifestyle, very typical. A coffee and green tea, sitting below an awning by the road, sharing the moment with friends and strangers.

United we stand, divided we fall.

I call this location "the yellow house by the barber shop". Always have a stop there to photograph for a minute or two.

Another group waiting out the prolonged rain, drinking coffee and green tea. Believe me they all know this lurking weird foreigner with the camera (me), I have already been here for 3 months.

Let's turn the rainy page and move closer to the end of November when the hope arose.

It's usual to see a large group of foreign Asian tourists traveling on rickshaws one by one, looking like a bicycle caravan.

Another wonderful sight of our town, twice a month, on a full moon and new moon, they set such still lives to send the spiritual content of material things to the afterlife. Yellow flowers, fruits, ritual money, and sometimes cigarettes. The ritual start with burning incense sticks and prayer.

In the final part of the ritual, people burn ritual money to support their ancestors and other deceased.

These two days of each month are always a great opportunity for a wandering photographer.

And at last a row of sunny days. I loved taking images in the rain! I enjoyed every moment until it became too much. Feeling myself as a noodle soup left overnight.

More Southeast Asian adventures to come, stay tuned! Check out my previous posts on my personal Worldmappin map.

I took these images with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G on a full-frame DSLR Nikon D750 in November 2024 in Hue, Vietnam.

😊🌻☀️

Thank you for taking a look at my pics and sharing your encouraging words!

very unusual and absolutely interesting scenes for the observation
very different culture and the way of life.

!PIZZA
!LUV

Yup, different life, more crowded, and there are more activities outdoors including workshops with no front wall so you can look at what people do inside: sawing, sewing, repairing, etc.

Thank you!

exactly what is interesting to observe
thank you for the info !!

All these things in the streets... Pretty amazing, we got nothing like that here in the streets

It's hotter all year around here so more activities are possible outdoors and more people can live in one place. There are some challenges here but I like how the Vietnamese people cultivate the positive attitude toward life in themselves instead of complaining, being angry, or insulted.

Thanks for stopping by and expressing your thoughts!
