Morning marsh mist
Sunrise over a marsh. There is a thin mist over the surface of the marsh. The sun is visible at the top left of the frame, with hazy outlines of hills across a bay visible. Nearly every color in the picture is a shade of orange.

Kites in Busan, South Korea
A man is holding a kite string. He is wearing a hat & bandana, and only seen from the back. The kite string holds many kites equally spaced apart on the string. Each kite has an identical image of a large laughing face on the left and smaller same face on the right. The top of the string is out of the picture, and dozens (or hundreds?) of kites are visible. The sky is clear and very blue.
