“I took this photo while going on an in country tour with my roommate and his family when they came and visited me in Vietnam. The contrast of a plain moss-covered pagoda amidst the boundless sky really put me in awe. This scenic picture is one of the best I've ever taken and will be forever memorable to me!”
