A lotus flower photographed in Vietnam.
One of nature's most mythical flowers with its lilac color and because it is always present in places of worship.
It is very often found in pagoda ponds because it is a sacred flower for Buddhists.
I photographed this flower in particular in a pagoda along the Mekong River Delta.
