I found this water lily on the pond of heemtuin De Dwarsgouw in Purmerend. The sun was bright with harsh shadows, but for a moment the sun was gone and dropped a ray of sunlight on the water lily. The water lily then lit up as if a light bulb had been inserted into it. Then I took this picture. Around it you can see the large leaves. floating on the water. Inside the lily, the yellow stamens can be seen.
