Red and Green Circle on the Red Beach
Half is a lake tinged with turquoise, half a beach soaked in crimson flames. A narrow path folds like candy paper, enclosing this clash of colors beneath the dome. Even the clouds become soft-edged, framing this slice of land like a color block plucked from a dream — audaciously vivid yet strikingly beautiful.
