my peaceful morning

Even though Bangkok was a very pleasant surprise and I can't wait to go back, Chiang Mai was more my vibe. It's just a smaller city and more laid back. While there, we happily walked almost everywhere we went, however our hotel offered us free bike rentals, so we made the most of that. I tend to be an early riser, so one morning I woke early, grabbed a bike and went out on my own to explore. As you can see, I ended up at the river, which was calm and peaceful and lovely, and I ended up taking tons of reflection photos, which always makes me happy. For whatever reason this photo kept standing out to me as I was deciding which photo to share this week. I think it's the soft lighting and murky reflection, but I can't quite put my finger on it. What do you think?
