Very impressive. I convinced our bus driver to stop fo two minutes on the way back into Hannoi when i spied the sun heading off to bed for the evening. Im glad he did stop, it was a lovely sun set.
(Spelling edit - sorry, I had to change padi (In the subject line) to paddy. Padi is actually Indonesian and Malay for rice, so rice padi means rice rice. Notwithstanding, love the shot - Greg B)

those SE Asian countries get the best sunsets.
Except that there is a strong correlation between air pollution & great sunsets
Great photo though.

Great shot. So glad you kept in so much of the foreground and not too much of the sky. It's like the sunset is happening on the rice fields, and the colour of the water is so much stronger than the sky. The people in the fields add to the story, making it more than just a landscape shot.
Love it.

This is a really good shot. I particularly like the layered lighting effect of the mountains.

Hanoi is the only place I've seen where the sun sets into the fog, not the horizon. Scary but amazing.
