Photo 2, 3 and 4 were both taken near Lancaster canal. Photo 2 is about the swan and baby swans swimming in the canal, there is two ducks behind them. Photo 3 is about the sheep’s family. Photo 4 is about the reflection of the canal\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

As the title mentions, \u201cWhen we nurture, we grow.\u201d\u00a0 Animals will continue to reproduce for the next generation and this is the law of nature.\u00a0 The baby swans and sheep in the picture also grow under the nurture and care of their parents.\u00a0 When we see those animals interacting, we think they are cute, or it is amazing when we see these **ordinary stones built into a meaningful stone tower**.\u00a0 Since everyone thinks nature is beautiful, why people still destroy it?\u00a0 Because humans are ugly.\u00a0 Human beings tend to only pay attention to the beautiful scenery in front of them and ignore the ugliness hidden behind it.\u00a0 Just like picture 4, the river surface reflects the blue sky and white clouds like a mirror.\u00a0 Meanwhile, it also reflects the plastic box that was casually dropped by humans.\u00a0 Most people may only focus on the sky reflected on the lake and but not the plastic box because you need to zoom in on that photo to see it.\u00a0 These 4 pictures all reflect the vitality and beauty of nature.\u00a0 But in fact, no one will think about or care about the ugliness behind it. For example, no one will think that building a stone tower can be considered as a destruction of nature. This is human nature. Since the beauty of nature is obvious to all of us, why do humans continue to destroy the environment? We always say \u201cHumans and nature systems co-exit\u201d. Since nature brings us beautiful scenery, should humans be aware of protecting this ecology? \u00a0
**pile up stones and make a stone tower is a culture in Korea. The higher the stone tower is, the easier it is for wishes to come.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I am Peggy Yiu, a first-year undergraduate student doing film and sociology in Lancaster University and come from Hong Kong. I am not a professional photographer and I didn’t learn any skills in photography. However, when you capture some amazing movements, you will feel successful. So, this became my motivation for photography. I mainly take photos of animals, sunsets and landscapes. I think that as a photographer, in addition to capturing the beautiful moments, we also capture the bad things in the world. The point of being a photographer is to tell everyone the good and bad of the world. I hope everyone will not only focus on the beauty on the surface, but also pay attention to the ugliness on the inside.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
