First for all of you a healthy and prosperous 2013.
This year I start with showing some landscape images I shot during my trip to Vietnam in the Tet period (Vietnamese New Year) at the beginning of 2012. The desolation of these landscapes during the coldest period (January/February) gives birth to the feeling of hope and peace possible in a wide open world. Here you feel the compassion being alive and well. I feel it our duty to show and bring it back to the crowded world. And suddenly in this loneliness appears now and then a joyful bunch of colours. It appears and vanishes again in the fog of the high mountains.
