The majestic mountains blend with diverse vegetation, gently meandering rivers or fierce rapids that suddenly pour down from the sky, splashing white foam to form distinct wonders of Vietnam. These scenes are even more special in the time of changing seasons. Nature seems to have gathered all the unique colors of the mountains and forests, harmonized to produce an even more magnificent picture. 'Season Changes' was inspired by the feeling this creates deep in my soul. I hope you like it, and also the mountains in Vietnam.
The result of my entry was 79th.
Step 1: Ideas
I like trekking and hiking, so i chose the mountains in VietNam as the idea for my aquarium. if you trekking around Oct - Nov, i sure the scenery of the mountains and forest will make you admire and overwhelmed
The forest seems to be revived by the wonderful blend of the colors from maple leaves and rhododendrons.
