This is the final photo of the week from our epic 6.5 week journey through Cambodia and Vietnam. Now we’re back in Bangkok and it’s time to put my head down for two weeks as I have the heaviest work load of freelance projects I’ve had since leaving the States. Once those two weeks are up I need to plan the permanent kidnapping of my friends and family who will be arriving for the holidays. (I CAN’T WAIT). Sound busy? Not to mention all the crazy stories, beautiful photos, and happy times I have yet to blog about from our trip! Lots going on around here so stay tuned…

Mui Ne Sand Dunes

This week’s Photo of the Week was taken in Mui Ne, Vietnam at the red sand dunes. The sky was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever photographed and Mark was going wild jumping off the dunes and crawling back up them. As soon as I snapped the shutter on this image I knew it was Photo of the Week.

But there was some competition from this reclining Buddha on Takou Mountain…

and from the stunning Fairy Spring in Mui Ne…

and from this amazing shot taken by Mark on our final evening in Saigon.

Happy weekend!

    Those other ones don’t hold a candle to Mark pretending to be a power ranger in the desert!

    Yes, Mark as a Power Ranger is a fantastic image. The resting Buddha is arresting. But the last photo of the city at sunset gave me chills. Good work, both of you! XOXO

    Extremely interesting pictures! One more fascinating than the next. The first was so fun, but the city of Saigon at sunset was my favorite. They are all postcard quality. Great work!

      Thank you so much for the compliments! I’m an old fashioned post card sender still so that is the perfect thing to say. Mark will be extremely excited to hear his photo was the favorite πŸ™‚

      Flying back into Bangkok felt amazing. Thailand is my home away from home and it is great to return.

    That first picture of Mark is amazing! Love the clouds and the contrast of the colors. Definitely has to be printed on a canvas when you get back home πŸ™‚

      Thanks! We totally lucked out on the sky because the next day it was no where near as spectacular. But I’m claiming credit for the excellent composition πŸ™‚
