Nostalgia, a photo from Khanh Hoa, South Central Coast

Photographer's Note

The small town is Thanh (Old Citadel) was build by king Gia Long. It is about 10 Km from south of Nhatrang. Surprisingly few people from Nhatrang know about this place of history. I came accross this place when I was bicycling in the countryside as a little boy. It has 4 walls with 4 gates for the protection of the town. The horse carrier, that is carrying the pigs, was used to be Nhatrang's taxi. I recognize it from the carving from the side of the carrier. I have not been home for 30 years.

I have been to Nha Trang several times but never heard about such a beautiful place. This is very familiar to those who are from Hue like me.
The rain didn't degrade your shot, but clearly booted up your talent. Beside, without such a love to the place, one may skip it without knowing the location's history. For that, you deserve a big bravo for a title, Nostalgia.

Happy TET to you!

Sincerely,

MQ

Hi Mr. Kiet:

Had I known about this place, I already came during my stay in Nha Trang recently.
Your photo reminds me a verse, "Lối xưa xe ngựa hồn thu thảo..."

Thanks,
