This photograph captures a single sunflower in close-up at the Zama Sunflower Fields, as if enveloped by a sea of sunflowers.On a midsummer afternoon, the fields of Zama City were like a sea of light. Countless sunflowers gazed at us, blooming as if embracing the sun. The sheer weight of half a million flowers overwhelmed the view and the heart. Walking, the shadows of petals swayed at our feet; standing still, a summer long past suddenly revived in our hearts.
