Dawn Reflection of Hot Air Balloon on Hunan Lake

by Joan Clay

Soft amber light from the rising sun breaks through clearing storm clouds, illuminating a colorful hot air balloon drifting low over the glassy surface of a Hunan lake. The balloon's fabric, striped in reds and yellows, hangs suspended against a pale blue sky while its inverted image mirrors perfectly in the still, dark water below. Wet lily pads cluster near the rocky shoreline in the foreground, their green leaves glistening with residual rain droplets. The horizon line sits low in the frame, showing the vastness of the sky and the balloon's solitary ascent. A faint ripple disturbs the water's edge where a small stone rests half-submerged, catching the first direct rays of morning light.
