Photograph--Baihe

The plan was to photograph sunrise in Erliao but we ended up shooting lotus flowers in Baihe because the road to Erliao was closed halfway. We arrived in Baihe too early, except for a morning market preparing for opening, the whole town seemed to be still asleep, not even breakfast shops were ready for business. The lotus were awakened by the morning light and diligent bees while dragonflies engaged in brutal mating rituals. It was a beautiful summer morning.
