Aspire to eco-photography. One day, while it was too late, I picked up heavy equipment and explored the winding secret realm. Along the way, I was pleased to see fireflies gradually surrounding, flashing gracefully dancing. However, day and night were handed over, only a quarter of an hour. Hurriedly set up the camera and waited. Until the last rays of sunlight in the sky stain the jungle blue. And the round leaf surface of the copper coin grass in the wilderness is also like tears because of the reflection of the blue. And with fluorescence, in almost complementary colors, to patch up the wounds of the earth. Friends recalled that when they first restored this secret realm, they were shocked to learn that in Japan, the restoration fee for a single firefly was as high as 10,000 yuan, so they had to explore it by themselves, starting from building a firefly habitat and creating a primitive ecology. As for the blue tears that were accidentally discovered, it was only after long-term fixed-point observation that it was difficult to gain insight into its natural wonders. I looked at the healing tones and couldn't help but think of the Avatar movie: The Na'vi people, who are blue all over, live a peaceful and good life, but because of human greed and destruction, they have triggered an environmental counterattack...... What similar scenes! I wondered, if they entered this secret realm and witnessed the restoration of this pure land, would they also shed blue tears of gratitude? Lean over and press the long exposure shutter and pray, the earth can also return to its original intention in this restoration action.
