Halong Bay Caves

Some of those shear sided islands in the bay are hollow.

 
Wildly lit by coloured lamps,

which do highlight the extraordinary forms.

By way of contrast,  an uncoloured lump of limstone.

The island we visited had two seriously big caverns.  The story is that the Vietnamese fleet hide the stakes used to impaled the Chinese war junks in this cave.  I believe it.
