VietNamNet Bridge – Nature and I is the main theme of photographer Nguyen Thu Tinh's solo exhibition at the Institute for Cultural Exchange with France in HCM City.

The 48 colour photos feature landscapes and plants in various cities and sites across Viet Nam, including Nha Trang, Phan Thiet and Madagui. All were taken from 2005 to 2012.

The 32-year-old artist said: "I am a nature lover and I use my photos to show the changes in nature as well as to express my mood."

Tinh, whose nickname is Rong Vang, is a freelance photographer and vice chairman of the Gia Dinh Photographer Club.
