This picture captures the tranquil atmosphere of an early morning on West Lake in Hanoi, one of Vietnam's largest lakes. In the centre is a fisherman in traditional dress with a typical Vietnamese straw hat, standing concentrated in the shallow water and waiting with his fishing rod for the perfect catch. The fine waves and gentle circles in the clear, reflective lake emphasise the peaceful atmosphere. In the distance, the outlines of Hanoi's modern skyline can be seen, hidden behind a light mist that softens the contours of the skyscrapers and gives the city a mystical appearance. This composition combines the traditional way of life and everyday life of Vietnamese fishermen with the unstoppable change and urbanisation of the country. It appeals to lovers of travel photography, nature and the culture of Southeast Asia. As a mural, it brings peace, space and the magic of the moment into the home, office or surgery and brings everyday life in Vietnam to life in a special way.
