it is not a black and white photo, although it almost looks like it. I actually wanted to edit it in black and white, but I think it's even better this way

es ist kein Schwarzweißfoto, obwohl es fast so aussieht. Eigentlich wollte ich es auch in schwarzweiß bearbeiten, aber so finde ich es noch besser,
Fountains Abbey founded in 1132 is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England.
The Cellarium was the area where the monks ate, slept and socialised.
I wish our Swedish climate were more suitable for fountains. Here we have to turn them completely off half of the year, so the water doesn't freeze and break the pipes.
A duo tone take on the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen City. Looking down from the 7th floor through the central atrium to ground level. This stunning architecture was designed by Danish Architects.
There is a large outdoor fountain near my home that runs continuous throughout the year even in the Winter months. It creates rather big ice sculptures from where the actual fountain head shoots the water. I'm not sure why I haven't tried my hand at capturing this before since I'm literally just minutes away from it. The weather is starting to change in these parts and while the fountain's surface is still frozen, there are parts where the ice and water are visible. I'm standing inside the fountain area to get this low to the ground capture. The sun is about to rise in background illuminating the trees. I'd be interested in hearing any thoughts or comments about this one.

I say it makes no difference. . . . . . .
'cause we all live a lifetime.
You took your's, I took mine.
You can devour it, or let it drag across unforeseeable decades.
Seize the moment.
The Fountain of the Thirteen Spouts, also known as the Fountain of the Pen, has ancient origins dating back to a fountain already present in Greek times, later incorporated into the medieval walls. The current Renaissance structure, with 13 masks of satyrs and fauns, was designed by Pellegrino Tibaldi and built between 1559 and 1560. The fountain is a symbol of the city of Ancona, represented by the bas-relief of the Assaulting Knight above the central mask.
