Chitrangi Bhatt, The Peaceful Mirror (PLACES 2025)

In this photograph I have tried to capture the quiet elegance of Lake Daylesford, where towering trees stand tall along the water’s edge and reflect flawlessly onto the still surface below. The mirrored image creates a natural symmetry, blurring the boundary between earth and water. A peaceful moment in nature, this image speaks of calmness, balance, and the beauty of simply standing still.
