Le bassin de la Lumière céleste (Temple de la littérature, Hanoi)
2010 Hanoi, Vietnam
This 2010 photograph shows the Well of Heavenly Clarity in the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, Vietnam. The pool sits in the temple's third courtyard, ringed by pavilions sheltering 82 stone stelae that record the names of doctoral graduates, each set on a stone turtle.
