Persongalleriet #708: Hanoi, Thursday

March 9th, 2017.
Today I took a walk along the narrow train tracks that go through central Hanoi. I've seen the photos how people live right on the tracks and wanted to see with my own eyes.

After about a kilometer, I left the tracks and got into the northern part of the Old Town.

Got this super yummy lunch from one of those portable mini kitchens n an alley. If I had the power to give out Michelin stars I would have! Amazing taste and freshness! And it only cost about 1 euro...

After lunch I happened onto Chợ Đồng Xuân market, the largest indoor market in Hanoi.

Chess game at the market.

I reconnected with the railroad at Ga Long Bien bridge, which spans the Red River.

The bridge has a bike lane in each direction as well.

A small arm or maybe backwater of the river.

Street Barber.

Walked back to the hotel and a much needed rest after a five and half hour walk.

Be well, everybody!

Jo, att man blir trött i fötterna kan vara begränsningen för hur mycket man orkar gå runt och fota!
Tack, Åke, ha det gott!

Riktigt intressant och bra bilder! Spännande hur de kan bo med spår så nära. Den där tallriken såg riktigt fräsch ut. Klippning på gatan kanske är något att anamma i Sverige... :)
Ha en bra helg Niklas!

Tack så mycket, Micke!
Kanske skulle det bli lite billigare att gå till frisören om de slapp lokalkostnader! :-)
Trevlig helg!

Great shots Niklas! An amazing environment. I really like #2, the juxtaposition of the girl carrying food and the curving track. The hand with the cigarette and the game in the background is also a favourite of mine. An unusual angle and nice soft light.
All the best!

Many thanks, Bjarne!
The girl turned up at the right place and time!
The hand picture felt like the photo of the day when I shot it. I wonder how I will feel about it in the future?
Have a great Saturday night!
