From the travel archive for #TravelTuesday today, here's Hạ Long Bay, Vietnam from our visit here in 2018.

We're standing at the water's edge on a humid day. The leaves of a palm tree overhang the view and frame it nicely. The water is a greenish grey in colour, mostly flat but rippled a little. The horizon is hidden behind dozens of rocky islets in the bay ahead of us. They vary in size but are generally nearly sheer-sided, rising tens of metres high, and covered in dark greenery where the craggy surfaces permit growth. Between the islands and us there are also several boats, each of them apparently doubling as fishing vessels and accommodation given the array of bamboo frames strung over the boats and filled with assorted human detritus: boxes, fabrics, and some Vietnamese flags - red with a yellow star. There is blue sky visible but most of the sky is covered with a light smattering of cloud.
