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)
I cannot believe its over a decade since I visited Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire given its relatively close by to me . Mind you in Yorkshire we are spoilt for choice if you want to visit historic monasteries as well as Fountains there are other historic abbeys at Jervaulx, Bolton, Whitby, Rievaulx, Kirkham and Byland all well worth a visit.
Fountains abbey sits on the banks of the River Skell in North Yorkshire. It is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539.
The medieval architecture is superb, including a surviving 168 ft. tower. It is regarded as one of the finest monastic sites in Europe and is classed as a World Heritage site.

My favourite fountain in Rome - in a city with quite a few of them - is this little thing. It is a dragon spouting water (which is drinkable, by the way). The fountain, which is actually one of a pair, is so small it does not even have a real name of its own, but the set is known as the "Fontanelle dei Palazzo Penitenzieri", that is "the small Palace Pentizenieri fountains". The palace (close to St Peter's) is a Renaissance palace where work began in the late 15th century, but the fountain is the heraldic emblem of Pope Paul V (born Camillo Borghese) who ruled the Papal state 1605-1621, so I think it is very safe to assume that the fountain also dates to this time too.

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.
Shot on IR film once again at the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena, CA. This time on the fountain section. I was shooting at 3 seconds and was glad to get to one lady standing still long enough to be sharp. Shot on Minolta SRT101, Minolta 35mm 1:2.8 lens, Ice IR 760 red filter with Rollie 135mm IR.

Jeremiah 9:1 “Oh that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!”
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.
