Qingxi Winter Morning: A Photo Walk with iPhone 17
The gentle, golden winter sun illuminated Qingxi, creating a perfect, crisp morning that felt deceptively warm. This ideal weather drew me to the main river, iPhone 17 in hand, eager to capture the town's quiet beauty. The air was still, broken only by the faint, constant murmur of the water, a soothing soundtrack to the walk.
The initial segment of the riverbank was a canvas of small wonders. I noticed a lizard in the bushes, its scales glinting, holding a pose so perfectly still it seemed ready for the FotorGear Shunji Iwai Simulation creative style I was using. A small stream of water flowed just beyond, a ribbon of liquid light hinting at the river's larger, hidden journey.
Continuing the walk, I observed the town's daily life blending with nature. I captured a mundane sign on a post in front of a bridge, a simple marker that nevertheless felt like it held a piece of the town's history. Local transport flashed by, offering a vibrant contrast, and I photographed a row of yellow buses parked in front of a building, a bright splash of color against the pale sky. The journey concluded at the town's periphery, where it merged with the wilder landscape—a simple, expansive view of a hill with grass and a blue sky—perfectly capturing the serene stillness of that sunny, warm winter morning.
