I started the year with a beautiful trip riding through sections of the north, camping on 3000m peaks and meeting some incredibly charming locals. Ninh Binh had a vibe I fell in love with, a slow pace set within a sea of limestone pagodas and fresh water caves. Looking back on such beautiful shots I've almost forgotten the intense stomach parasite that floored me and the fervent swearing and tight calves that emanated from every squat toilet north of Ho Chi Minh. Ninh Binh was the place I let go of trying to do, and just decided to be...focusing on taking photos and letting myself rest.
The universe didn't seem to line much up for me on that trip. This frame, however, lined up perfectly!
