In the heart of Hanoi is the ‘lake of the returned sword’. England has the legend of the Lady of the Lake handing the sword Excalibur to King Arthur, and Hanoi has a giant turtle taking a magical sword away from an emperor and restoring it to its divine masters.
There are several islands in the lake – this beautiful red bridge that leads across to one of them with a small temple on it.

You have really tried all interesting perspectives and it’s really a treat for us 🙂
Thank you. The photos are a mix of my husband’s and mine – we take such entirely different photos which is why you get to see a variety of perspectives.
Congratulations to you. What a beautiful bridge. I have never seen one like this before!
