"Erhai Blue Sky Diary | A Frozen Blue"

🌊 Waves tamed by the sun ▫️Silk-like cobalt blue: the color of Erhai at noon ▫️Shattered glass-like light spots: the fingerprints of the wind on the shallows ▫️Velvet twilight blue: the special filter of the last hour before sunset ▫️Mint green: the secret recipe of the transparent waters by the shore 🚣 A still specimen of time and space The stranded little wooden boat becomes an eternal comma between the sea and sky. The paint-chipped gunwale is soaked in jelly-like water, and the oar casts a cross-shaped shadow at the bottom—like a pendulum paused by the sun. Occasionally, a dragonfly stops on the rudder, and ripples weave annual rings with it as the center. 🍲 Mushrooms sunbathing Matsutake mushrooms open their umbrellas, chicken mushrooms hide golden light particles in their folds, and blue-staining boletes catch the light spots leaking from the window lattice with their madder skirts. While waiting for the hot pot to boil, you may find that the texture of the mushroom caps shares the same mathematical formula as the ripples of Erhai. 🗺️ Boundary marker and infinite mirror The words "Erhai" are sunbaked on the stone tablet, and the bright red marks flow down into the reflection, turning into a koi swimming to the deep sea. Standing here and looking north, the nineteen peaks melt into a blue-green crayon drawing in the heat waves. ✨ Sunny day exclusive Easter eggs ▫️Salt crystals formed from dehydrated waves contain a rainbow spectrum ▫️The sun-warmed lake water is like jade soaked in the entire Cangshan Mountain ▫️Fishing nets are hung on bamboo racks by the shore, leaking diamond-shaped light spots all over the ground ☀️ A poem written by Dali's ultraviolet rays: "We sit in the eternal summer Watching the clouds copy and paste the sea three thousand times Until the aroma of mushroom soup Blurs the horizon"
