Vietnam, Con Dao - The photograph shows a single white water flower rising from a pond full of large, partly withered floating leaves. While the surroundings are characterised by the natural cycle of decay - brown, curled leaves, withered stems, the first structures of decay - the flower itself appears like a late-born counter-accent: delicate, bright and still in full form, as if resisting the approaching end of the season. This visual tension between decay and the last bloom creates a quiet, almost poetic atmosphere. The pond appears undesigned and natural, not an ornamental pond, but a piece of landscape that shows the rhythm of the seasons without embellishment. The picture tells less of floral perfection than of transitions: from growth to transience, from summer to autumn, from flowering phase to seed stage. It is suitable for themes such as observing nature, ecosystems in transition, seasonal photography, transience in nature and quiet, minimalist nature motifs. The focus is not on species identification - more important is the mood, the contour of the water and the interplay between delicate blossom and weathered surroundings.
I have brought back many photo impressions from my travels. So that you can also enjoy the impressive pictures, I offer selected photos here that can be printed on canvas, as posters, on acrylic glass and even more media. For more travel inspiration, visit my website.. Read more…
