Leading lines and light are important principles in Photography. A leading line directs ones eye through an image while use of light can create a 3 dimensional look creating contrast and depth. This sight created the elements I wanted to provide depth into the image. Fountains Abbey was established in 1132 AD in Northern Yorkshire England. This is the vaulted cellarium used for storing meat and used as a larder (pantry). (Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop)

* 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 .
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.

Lava fountains from the Meradalir eruption, which started on 3 Aug 2022. The fountains and the distant landscape look blurry seen through the hot air rising from the sea of lava in front of the erupting fissure.

«God is the universal substance in existing things. He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being. In Him exists everything that is.»
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
“The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises.”
~ Sigmund Freud
