The photo shows an authentic street scene in the old town of Hoi An, Vietnam. At the centre is a cyclist riding past a beautifully renovated colonial façade with open shutters and carefully tended floral decorations. The warm yellow and red colours of the façade combine Mediterranean flair with Asian joie de vivre. Lanterns and garlands suggest that these streets are often the scene of colourful celebrations and community. The motif is reminiscent of the interplay between everyday life and tradition, the slow rhythm of life and the charm of Vietnamese cities. It appeals to lovers of urbanity, architecture and travel photography and, as a mural, brings serenity, history and Southeast Asian energy directly into modern living spaces, cafés or offices.
