I shot these reflections from the cruiser on the Li River near Guilin in China.
The river was quite low and had been for some time judging by the vegetation sprouting on the rocky shores of the river. Here and there would be a pond, water trapped by rock and sand bars in the river.
These reflections are of the karst limestone cliffs reflected in the still water of one of these ponds. Closer to me the wind is slightly stirring the surface of the water while alongside the rock face it's glassy still.
The dip of the rock beds cause this reflection to form an arrow shape – there's all sorts of shapes and patterns to be seen if you let your eyes linger.
The karst limestone formations are very similar to those of Phang Nga Bay in thailand and formed in the same way.
