Rolleiflex Dreams in Guilin

This photograph captures a unique perspective through the viewfinder of a vintage Rolleiflex camera, revealing the breathtaking karst mountain scenery near Guilin, China. The glass screen displays a soft, dreamlike image of jagged peaks fading into the horizon, framed by the warmth of the leather casing and the metal details of the camera. The juxtaposition of the analog device and the timeless natural landscape evokes a sense of nostalgia and enduring beauty.
