The fountains at the Schleißheim palace.
Schleißheim Palace was built 1701-1704 by Enrico Zuccalli for the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II Emanuel, who expected to become emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and therefore needed a representative new residence.
Unfortunately Maximilian II Emanuel never became the emperor...

One fountain in a set of two, at Villa Borghese, in the massive stairs leading down to National museum of modern art, Rome. The set dates from 1911 and is called Fontane delle Tartarughe (that is, the fountains of the tortoise - and is not to be confused with the Fontana delle Tartarughe, in singular, which is completely different, Renaissance, fountain: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/3288857504/ )
One of the many fountains in front of Schloss Herrenchiemsee.

Buttercups in full flower adding wonderful contrast with the ruined Fountains Abbey in the back ground.
* The last post from my trip to Seville at least for a while . It is another shot from the Plaza de España that we saw on our first afternoon. We were equally impressed by the architecture but also by the wonderful warm temperatures . Two months later and I am still waiting for a little warmth its been a cool wet Spring this year
The Plaza de España is is a beautiful collection of buildings in the Parque de María Luisa in Seville. It was built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The Plaza was, designed by Aníbal González, was a principal building built on the Maria Luisa Park's edge to showcase Spain's industry and technology exhibits. González combined a mix of 1920s Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance Revival, Spanish Baroque Revival and Neo-Mudéjar styles. The Plaza de España complex is a huge half-circle; the buildings are accessible by four bridges over the moat, which represent the ancient kingdoms of Spain. In the centre is the Vicente Traver fountain.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
GO WITH THE FLOW is the topic for Wed Aug 17th 2022 Group Our Daily Challenge
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,

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.
Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is an open-air museum. Here, I will post some photos of the city taken during the festive season. There was no snow, but that didn't stop the city from dressing up in festive clothes.
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.

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.
