Fishermen's Song
Nguyễn Dinh Thanh, a member of our Your Shot community, took this photo in Hue, Vietnam.
"Located in the middle of Vietnam, Hue city is famous for the old palaces, [and the] beautiful Perfume River. This is a must-see place if you visit Vietnam. The two fishermen are throwing casting nets on Nhu Y river. Their movement is like an artist playing a nice song."
