A peaceful café around Hanoi biggest lake.
West lake (Hồ Tây in Vietnamese) is the largest lake in Hanoi. It is a place where I like to come and rest.
Latmosphere is peaceful and the view magnificent.
All around the lake there are multiple cafes. my favorite is most certainly Cà Phê Ven Hồ Tây,
located on a small peninsula, here you can drink Vietnamese coffee, drink lemon juice while contemplating this immensity.
Around you, a few people practice gimnastics in silence.
There are multiple cafes around West Lake, for most of them the atmosphere is conducive to reflection and entertaining.
Arm yourself with a book, relax on your armchair, time stops when you are in west lake, time sometimes stops when you are in Hanoi around a lake.
The fisherman of the lake history of this photography:
The fisherman of the lake. It was a quiet afternoon and I went to work on the banks of the west lake in Hanoi. On the way I met this fisherman, sitting in the middle of these peaceful waters, in the middle of nowhere. I parked my scooter and approached the shore.
Here is the story of this photography of the fisherman from Hanoi. This is what it feels like to live in Hanoi. These sometimes magical and zen moments, both real and completely hyper-realistic.
