[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At my sister and brother-in-law's house in Denmark they have this fountain in the back garden. It is an enormous stone (1 meter wide and at least 40 centimeters high) through which my brother-in-law has drilled a hole. Below the stone there is a water reservoir and a pump which pumps water through the stone where it quietly pours out like a tiny spring to run down the stone into the reservoir and circulate like that for ever. It makes the most wonderful sound, like that of a small brook or creek running over a lot of stones, and in the sunlight and wind it even creates a small spray that I have tried to capture here. I include a larger version in the workshop to show that no water is visible around the stone - everything is neatly hidden away. I wasn't quite sure which of the two to post and which to put in the workshop. Please let me know what you would have done.

Clarified and sharpened before resizing.

Hi Per !
Il like the veil of light in the spray coming from above onto the fountain and the water, a magic effect, almost divine ...
I remember another shot of yours, with such a use of light in a church.
Sylvie

Hi Per
I like the spray and the reflection. To add another opinion, you can do the same shot when there is less light but with a long exposure... The use a light source to paint it... The water will change totally. (opinion)

Regards

C'est une décoration magnifique et tu prends vraiment bien le sujet.
Plein de lumière et de couleurs.
Magnifique et très minéral.

Bonjour Per
Pour moi c'est le seul bruit qui me relaxe, je passe des heures devant une fontaine et je regarde l'eau qui s'écoule et le bruit qu'elle fait en tombant dans le bassin.

I would love to own this. I had a garden filled with plants, birds, fish, and no fountain, no running water. No one would ever make me a fountain, a real pond, waterfall or stream. Best I could do was to bury my daughters old wading pool, for my water plants andfish. Later I had wooden tubs and antique crocks with watre plants and fish, and free tree frogs from tad poles my kids caught! Such a nice fountian, so natural!
