[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Should a plant symbolize the beauty of Danube Delta it should be the European White Water Lily (Nymphaea alba). This perennial plant, with it heart shaped leaves and big white flowers, covers big surfaces on the shallow lakes of the delta. White Water Lily is growing in sunny places, in stagnant or slow flowing water, with depth between 30 and 150 cm.

Gorgova village, from Danube Delta, is placed on Sulina channel between Danube and Gorgova lake. Behind the village there is a long ditch surrounding the village. According to Danube’s water level the ditch can be filled with water or dry. Last year in September it was perfectly dry.

This year the ditch was filled with water and I was surprised to see several surfaces covered with White Water Lily. I could not miss the opportunity to take several photos with these wonderful flowers.

Bonjour Cristian,
J'aime particulièrement le graphisme de ces fleurs et la restituion que tu en fais, par la finesse des détails et la délicatesse des couleurs, est particulièrement réussie sous un excellent angle de prise de vue.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
