Floating World  Beau Soir

A Golden Autumn Tree Reflecting in a Lake

Beau Soir, Hangzhou, 2012

At the height of autumn, in the early evening the waning sun bounces off light from the exploding autumn colors onto the clear waters of a forest lake, a spectacle to be enjoyed only a few minutes until sunset, colors dieing down for the day. In few days, the beauty of autumn colors itself will vanish too, with leaves dieing and nature only to be reborn in the coming year.
