EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Paraguay's water lilies, known as Yakare Yrupe in Guarani. Every three to four years, these giant water lilies, scientifically named Victoria amazonica, emerge in great numbers and size along the Paraguay River in Piquete Cue. The locals consider them a national treasure due to their rarity and immense dimensions, with some reaching over a meter and a half in diameter. In this picturesque scene, people can be seen boarding boats to witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon up close. As they navigate through the serene waters adorned with an abundance of vibrant green leaves and delicate white flowers, it becomes evident why these water lilies are so revered. While water lilies grace the river every year, it is only during these special occurrences that they appear in such vast quantities and sizes. Their presence creates an ethereal atmosphere that mesmerizes both locals and visitors alike. The photographer has skillfully captured the essence of this unique moment when nature showcases its magnificence. This image serves as a reminder of our planet's awe-inspiring wonders and highlights the importance of preserving such treasures for future generations to cherish.
