Hanoi bride and groom

This young couple were posing for photos in the middle of the road near the cathedral in Hanoi today. The photo sums up Hanoi - beauty within chaos. The beauty of the culture, the parks, lakes, some of the buildings, the friendliness of the people. The chaos in the arrangement of commercial, residential and hotel properties, to say nothing of the traffic ,which comes at you from all directions and angles, when you are walking on the road or crossing in front of it ( the pavements are cluttered with motorbikes and shop wares)
