            Ban Gioc Waterfall, Vietnam

Ban Gioc Waterfall, located on the Quây Sơn River at the border of Vietnam and China, is one of Asia’s most magnificent and iconic waterfalls. This is may be the most beautiful waterfall I have had the privilege to visit; given the multiple tiers, karst formations, and volume of water flowing through the falls. It may also have been one of the most difficult to photograph. Not only is it located 5 hours from Hanoi, but the fact that the Vietnamese/Chinese border runs through the middle of the river meant we needed to obtain expensive permits to fly our drones legally. Upon arrival, our permits weren't apparently sufficient and multiple additional layers of bureaucracy were involved in the final approval. This shot was as taken from a spot as near (as I could be comfortable with) from the Chinese border, over which there have been cases of drones losing control and flying off to land on the Chinese side. Special thanks to expert photographic guide Nguyen vu Phuoc.
