This stream runs from a fountain at the entrance to the inside back of the church.

Daily Tip: Stamp your Visible layers. Instead of flatten all layers in order to edit everything on a new one, you may consider to Merge Visible Layers by holding down the Ctrl, Alt, Shift and the letter E simultaneously to create a new layer on top of the stack. Another method to do the same, but with a bunch of extra options is via menu Image > Apply Image.

It was a wonderful sunny autun day near the Swedish royal castle of Strömsholm. I had the pleasure to be able to spend the day by the stream. Do not use this photo in any website, blog or any media of any kind without my consent. All right reserved!
