Wild Lotus
Uploaded: September 30, 2009
Sunset across the wetlands
(Lotus flowers close at night and dip beneath the water. Here, there was no water, only the exposed muddy bottom at the fringe of the marsh. I don't know what they do - I wasn't there at night - I imagine, curl their petals up and wait for dawn!)
Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/350 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 63.00 mm, Model: KODAK DX6490 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA
