Trees on the grounds of the Imperial City in Hue, Vietnam (see Imperial City) reflected in the moat surrounding the Citadel. Beautiful place to spend the morning.

The sprawling complex, located on the northern bank of the Perfume River, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. Some of the buildings have been beautifully restored:
Others provide a stark testimony to the impermanence of imperial dreams. [NOTE: This was a wonderful place to spend a few hours while waiting for permits (thx, Ms. Ngoc)].
