Park Benches and Colonial-Era Building, South Vietnam, June 1971
A tree-shaded park with white benches fronts a large colonial-era building, possibly a hotel or restaurant, in a South Vietnamese town in June 1971. Public spaces such as this reflect the French colonial urban planning still visible throughout Vietnam's towns and cities during the war years, offering a quieter counterpoint to the era's military imagery.
