The sun shone brightly on the warm summer day of 2021 in Nanjing. I held my Sony Alpha with an 85mm prime lens, and my steps led me to the lush greenery of Baguazhou. The scenery that greeted me took my breath away. The rolling hills of green stretched as far as my eye could see and my heart raced. In this moment, I knew I had to press the shutter and capture this beauty forever.
The color green has always been associated with the idea of hope. To me, this photo in particular was a symbol of the future. It promised of a better tomorrow, even in these uncertain times.
My photo from Baguazhou served as a token of optimism, a reminder of the beauty that comes with looking towards the future. As the sun began to set, I was left with the hope that this image, this beautiful piece of landscape, could bring a sense of solace to those who may be struggling.
