Temple of Literature, Ha Noi.

Photos by Alwyne, processing by Ron LaCroix. To Elizabeth McLean, in honour of her own literature of Vietnam.
In Ha Noi, the place where the Mandarins who held governmental sway during the reigns of the kings/emperors were educated. We were there on a day when the skies opened and it bucketed down.
