Natural painting on water surface

The effect of ripples on a clear water surface can create beautiful paintings.

Here is an example.

[1] At the opposite bank of Shing Mun River, the white tent, the light green trees and the blue roof of Yuen Wo Road Sports Centre are reflected by the calm water surface.

[2] The white, green and blue colours blend together in a different way with the effect created by ripples.

[3] It seems to me as if the water on Shing Mun River were the drawing paper and paints of white, green and blue had been poured onto it. These colours had splashed out when touching the paper.
