Fountain in Aix en Provence Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here's a detail of the Rotunda fountain in Aix en Provence.
You will see the whole fountain in the workshop.

Its construction in 1860 marks a turning point; not only are its dimensions exceptional for this city but it is also the first to have a fonted basin. Three statues: Justice, Agriculture and Fine Arts adorn the fountain and recall the main activities of this town. In effect the fountain was a symbolic mark of the entry to the modern town, without rampart nor gate, open to the world. Aix has grown now and today the "great Fountain" is at the centre of the town.

Thanks for watching ;o)

Hi Serge
Good capture of this fountain. The side light has worked in your favour and the frozen water gives a nice effect too as we can see the water droplets. Nice work indeed.
