Vang Vieng(population about 25,000)is a tiny riverside town situated 160 km north of Vientiane and is home to Hmong and Yao people.Vang Vieng is a great place to break the journey between Vientiane and Luang Prabang.The town is riddled with an array of guesthouses, restaurants, internet cafes and shops.The reason for visit this area is the gorgeous Nam Song River and the magnificent karst limestone mountains lining it.Stunning at any hour, the mountains are particularly beautiful with the golden pink glow of sunset behind them.For action and adventure, there are caves to explore, trekking, kayaking,rafting trips and the possibility of rock climbing,too. One of the best way to relax and enjoy the scenery is hiring a tyre inner tube and float down the river basking in the beauty of the countryside.

Hi Szili,
Good composition with the boats on the forground, the fragile bridge dividing the two halfs and the majestic mountains. The green of the trees is superb and ofcourse the sun hiding in the water.
Good work.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Attila,
A lovely sunset view that carries a strong exotic feeling, I appreciate that you did not include the setting sun in the view and only have it suggested by the golden dominant all other the photo, also it's nice you got enough remaining light to show excellent details of this nice landscape.
have a nice day,

Excellent composition. The light is superb. The title is well chosen. Could be a waterpainting.

I like cominig back to your gallery and find the images that I have missed. This one is another classic. The light is beatiful and it brings a peaceful feel to the whole scene. Specially like how after a little while the eye starts to discover the details of the people moving on the bridge, coming into the hut. Great capture my friend! Thanks for sharing.

Image plus que superbe, je comprends sa notation et ses visites,
Quelle beauté d'ambiance et de profondeur.
Les couleurs et leurs teintes riches sont puissantes en effet.
Le pont suspendu et la réflexion rehausse l'image déjà bien à point ,
Toute une leçon pour moi,, Merci Réal.
