Martian Lotus 02

The soft light of the setting sun casts a tranquil glow upon the still waters of the Martian lake. In its center, a lone lotus flower floats gracefully atop the glassy surface. Its petals are a deep crimson, almost black in color, and its centers blaze with a bright white light. The beauty of this solitary flower is breathtaking. It seems to embody the very spirit of Mars itself: calm, yet fierce; serene, yet powerful. As night falls and the stars come out to shine, this lotus blossom will continue to stand watch over the quiet waters below, a silent sentinel in the dark Martian night.
