Sun Breaking through the Clouds at My Son

My Son is a Hindu temple complex about an hour outside of Hoi An (or 69 kilometers from Danang).  We came out at sunrise to see the temples in good light and, more importantly, to avoid the busloads of tourists who come mid-morning.  As the gates of My Son opened, We were one of two couples; it was great to have the temples to ourselves.  There are several temples open to the public; others are still being excavated.  It is the main surviving architectural complex of the Champa dynasty; its oldest structures are believed to date back to the 4th century. Sun Breaking through the Clouds at My Son
