Into the fairy creek

The fairy creek is another big attraction in Mui Ne. As it was the dry season, it was a scenic  walk upstream through the creek.

There are lots of mineral cliffs along the way. It's easy to imagine things look quite different here during the wet season when the water is much higher and flows faster.

There's always a slight current, even in the shallow waters. Photos taken in November 2016.

Neverending dunes

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Photo taken in November 2016.

Lotus blossom

High in the sky

Mui Ne is a popular spot for kite surfing. I didn't try it, but it was fun to see the colorful sails flying high in the sky. More skies can be found here. Photo taken in November 2016.

Fishing village

There's always work to be done when you live in a fishing village.

Beautiful bougainvillea

I can never resist snapping a shot of this bright flower. Hope it brings some sunshine to your day. Photo taken in November 2016.

More dunes

It was such a beautiful morning, but other photographic subjects are coming (or are they?). Photo taken in November 2016.

At the top

Some people used modern means to get to the top of the dunes for the sunrise. I went up the old fashioned way - by foot! Photo taken in November 2016.

Sunrise

It pays to be an early bird in some cases. Seeing the sunrise over the dunes in Mui Ne was definitely a treat. More skies can be found here. Photo taken in November 2016.

Crossing a bridge

I don't quite remember where this bridge was, somewhere between Hue and Hoi An, but I love that we were driving towards the big puffy clouds and blue sky. Photo taken in November 2016.

Inside the bridge

A look through the Japanese Friendship Bridge from a different angle. It's a popular spot with tourists and there was often a queue to walk across as only a certain number of people can be on the bridge at once. Photo taken in November 2016.

Hue by night

I love all the bright lights you find in cities across Southeast Asia. I was lucky the cyclist came through my shot at just the right moment. Photo taken in November 2016.

At the market

Some things at the open air markets look better than others.

 

I suppose this is an attractive presentation to some, but it certainly didn't appeal to me! Photos taken in November 2016.
