Vietnam - Ha Noï - lac Hô Hoàn Kiêm
2012 Hanoi, Vietnam
Hoàn Kiếm Lake in central Hanoi, Vietnam, photographed in 2012. The lake sits at the heart of the city's old quarter and is tied to a Vietnamese legend of a golden turtle that reclaimed a magic sword from a Lê-dynasty king.

Have an old photo of Hanoi?
A family album, a postcard, a print from the attic. Pin it to the map and it becomes part of the record.
