Every year in late November, I make it a point to visit the lake at Xiaoyaojin Park. It’s when the ginkgo and triangle maple trees hit their peak colors, casting vibrant reflections across the water that look just like an impressionist oil painting—complete with a single leaf resting gently on the shimmering ripples.
The lake was serene today. A single leaf gently settled onto the water, and as the ripples faded away, I captured this dreamy, surreal moment.
