About This is a Lotus flower which is actually known today to be a water lily.

To the ancient Egyptians, a lotus bud was a symbol of rebirth. It closes in the evening and falls to the water, but in the morning it opens and is lifted above the surface. Its behaviour emulates that of the sun. Because of this rising and setting, it is also a symbol of death and rebirth.

According to one creation myth, a giant lotus emerged from the watery chaos at the beginning of time. Out of its centre, the sun itself rose on the first morning.

Camera settings: 1/640 sec - f/6.3 - ISO 200 - FL 105mm.
