VietNamNet Bridge - Through the black and white photographs of the Austrian photographer Josef Höflehner, Vietnam shows up with a strange beauty.

Austrian photographer Josef Höflehner traveled around the world to take photos of many beautiful places. He went to Vietnam twice, in 2007 and 2012 and then he introduced a set of unusual black-and-white photos of Vietnam.

Höflehner found a lot of different perspectives about the country and people of Vietnam and recorded them in black-and-white photos. The pictures are highly praised by the audience

In the 2nd visit to Vietnam in April 2012, the photographer spent two weeks to visit the three regions in Vietnam and returned to the places he had visited five years ago. From Hanoi to Ha Long Bay, through Höflehner’s lens, the beautiful landscapes of Vietnam are both familiar and strange, because of the colors as well as the obsession that they give the viewer.

Below are the most beautiful photos posted on Höflehner’s site:
