19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The circle of life
A decaying leaf on the forest floor with some rain drops. Singapore has several nature trails. On one of those, I came across this scene with several leaves scattered about. The scene reminded me of the circle of life, where the decaying matter together with water will replenish the soil to sustain a cycle that has been going on for around half a billion years. However, I also realized that in the anthropocene, like many other cycles, this cycle may also break.
