Following the curve
A dark shore curves around blue water toward the open sea. Green land and small buildings line the opposite bank beneath a clear sky. Photography by Lu Heng.

The near bank curves around the water before tapering toward the sea. Dark ground on the left meets a narrow green edge; across the blue channel, small buildings sit on low land.
The curve provides a route through the photograph. Follow it from the lower edge and the enclosed water gradually opens into the thin blue line of the sea. The large, clear sky makes that change easy to see.
