I just got back from my annual retreat with the Jesuits. The retreat house they maintain on the Mississippi River is for three days my home, and I and my camera have nothing to do for three days except what we both love to do. Every weekend a different group of about 110 guys go here to relax and reorder our priorities in the silence and beauty of this lovely place. With so many men there this fountain gets a lot of attention from us and our cameras. I wanted to get something different - something that showed not only the fountain but its environment as well as the effect it has on all of us who sit by it. This is what I came up with.

Regmar,

This is beautiful! I love the way you composed the photo with the fountain off-center. The moss hanging off of it goes so well with the line of trees behind. Lovely, peaceful place and you captured it well.

Thanks TG, and LRG. It's good to have SOME notice taken of this shot.

I think I hear crickets.

It certainly does look like the kind of place to inspire peaceful tranquility. Lovely and thoughtful capture.

I see how the power of a visual in its surroundings can alter one's feelings and prespective, in general-the trick is to keep it going.another terrific piece.

This looks very "profound" on the desktop and is a view that keeps this viewer looking and pondering. I suppose that was the intent of the fountain, the photo and the upload, so I'd say you accomplished you purpose. Very well done.
