The White Lotus

Siem Reap, Cambodia

The most sought after flower by `flowsnow'. I have always wanted to shoot a picture of the Lotus flower but I seem not to have the luck to find one. Of all the places, I found this during my visit to Cambodia. I tried to shoot some when we drove passed the padi fields in the outskirts of the village but the fields were dry. The lotus flower is one of the Eight Buddhist symbols of good fortune. It is a symbol of purity, which rises unsullied through muddy water.

Wonderful shot. I think I'm going to try to find a flower that hasn't frozen for my PAD today. Lovely delicate shot. Great water drops on the periphery too.
