I was lucky to get this shot of the fountain at Elizabeth Park on what was possibly the last sunny day before the water is turned off for the winter. Three perpetually youthful girls perch on top of the fountain bowl, sculpted by Knute Evertz around 1910. Apparently there had been five larger female figures, all of which were lost when the fountain and park were in disrepair during the Great Depression. Elizabeth Park is the oldest municipal park in Bellingham.Also, a postscript to yesterday's entry: I found a newsclip of Glenn Beck receiving the key to Mount Vernon on Fox News. Shockingly, they downplayed the protest and only talked to supporters of Beck. (To those of you not familiar with the U.S. news channels, the "shockingly" is very sarcastic.)
Composition, light, color - all just right. Very sensuous luscious photo perfectly in tune with its subject.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is very well done. It is extremely hard to get a good photo on a bright, sunny day...and this must have been more difficult as it is backlit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, and the fountain is very beautiful!
What a glorious shot. The water has so many facets in this image.
ReplyDeleteThis has a very European feel and look to it. Could just as easily be Paris or Prague.
ReplyDeleteNice angle, beautiful.

You got a Posty: I want to give 15 postcards :)
there is a great pic at the horseshoe of the fountain in the past when they would let people play in it!
