23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Rest time
A warm, intimate glimpse into the tranquil pleasures of island life on Bích Đầm Island as day transitions to night. A local man takes his evening rest, suspended in a hammock strung across a bright blue doorway. The soft, fading light of dusk gently illuminates the colorful blue frame of the door and window, creating a serene contrast with the deepening, cool shadows of the interior. The scene captures a moment of quiet solace and reprieve after the day's heat, perfectly reflecting the relaxed, unhurried pace of life in this coastal community as evening descends.
