Picture Perfect: Misty, moody Halong Bay
This post is part of an ongoing series entitled ‘Picture Perfect’, published because of my wish to showcase some beautiful travel shots from around the world which didn’t quite make it into regular blog posts or which tell a story on their own and need few words, if any, to describe them.
Who said you always need a sunny day for a place to be beautiful? Here is misty moody Halong bay on a Winter’s day, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Beautiful – the atmosphere created by the mist is far more interesting than shots on a sunny day would have been.
How hauntingly beautiful, Denise. In the 4th photo, the mountains look like seated animals. Love the way you ended it with so much color – very nice!
You are right! The mist makes it perfect and the colors in that last picture are wow!
Beautiful pictures! It makes it look so mysterious. Love all the tropical fruits and color on the last one.
These photos are dreamy and capture the moment of a day’s awakening.
Great photos
Gorgeous pics! It seems to be in a fairy tale! This place looks so misterious! I love the shot of the man in the boat with fruits!Really weird!
Beautiful shots. I visited Halong Bay a few years ago, and loved it!
Wow! Those are quite literally breathtaking. I yearn to be there, which is what a good travel photo should do, after all.
I was there under similar conditions in January but your photos turned out much better than mine. I love the last photo of the woman selling fruit. Vietnam was the first place that I had dragon fruit and that photo brings back the memory.
You captured it!
I went to Halong Bay a few months back — I had much sunnier days though.
love the way the land is carved
This is a different view of Halong Bay, but its beauty still shows through. I haven’t been there yet, but I will, this year.
Beautiful pictures – I can feel the misty mood in all of them! And then the colors in the last picture are stunning!
These are beautiful! I’m always amazed at how weather can change the feeling and mood of a place.
I have a lot of Vietnamese students (I teach ESL in California), and they always talk about how special Halong Bay is. It looks like an incredible place in your photos. So many shapes, details, and colors to love in these.
