Po Nagar Cham towers in Nha Trang (Vietnam)
The Po Nagar Cham towers are Nha Trang´s most popular sight. Of the estimated ten towers, or kalan, constructed here by the Hindu Cham people between the seventh and twelfth centuries, only four towers remain. The central tower, dating back to the seventh century, is dedicated to the god Cri Cambhu. Believers (very often childless couples) pray here for fertility at its lingam. 
village and harbour of Mui Ne
Mue Ne was a little unknown village with a harbour for fishermen. Today it is becoming a popular vietnamese beach area and is a weekend retreat for expats living in Ho Chi Minh City. Mui Ne stretched along one 10 km long road and hotels and resorts make up most of the seaward side of the road. Nevertheless, the original harbour with its fishingboats still exists and I took some shots of the village and the harbour of Mui Ne.
