One of the most photographed landmarks in Ho Chi Minh City is the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee or Hotel de Ville as it was formerly known. The French colonial style building was built between 1901 and 1908, and is unfortunately not opened to the public.
I took this picture in August 2007 just before the heavens opened up and rained down on the streets of Saigon. The ominous clouds not only add drama and tension to the picture, they are also a stark reminder of the city’s early turbulent years.
