About The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from ancient Egypt, it played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion.

It was the symbol of Upper Egypt which can be seen repeatedly in various hieroglyphics on tomb and temple walls and as the tall white crown worn by the king of Upper Egypt.

It was considered as the symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again.

The Papyrus reeds served several purposes, the most familiar of which was the paper on which they used to write on.

Camera setttings: 1/250 sec - f/4.5 - ISO 200 - FL 105mm.

Again very creatively done. Like the way you toned it too. I've seen your pics after a looooong gap. Seems you have literally made your micro lens bleed during these last few months.
