Sisters at Long Bien, Hanoi Summer 2007

Hanoi - to me - a "city of pictures" just waiting to be stumbled on.

As much of life is lived on the street, family love can be observed out in the open air.

Here, across from the Long Bien bus terminal, sitting in a drink shop, I am about to be served a cup of iced water by the young girl who has a cup for me in one hand and her little sister more or less in the other hand.

Some time later, a large print was taken back to the the little shop; my reward - several glasses, gratis, of "bia hoy," fresh, green beer.
