Tiny Fountain © 2010 Bo Mackison
This fountain is in a very long straight line, but the individual water spouts are very short – only a few inches high.
Did you see the fountain in the photograph when you first glanced? As you looked for the fountain, did that encourage you to look deeper into the photograph?
That is what photography – the actual act of taking a photograph – does for me. It makes me take a longer look, a deeper look. It allows me take the time to make meaning from what I see.
Photographed at Chicago Botanic Garden.
I didn’t recognize the fountain at first glance. What caught my eye was the lighting on the sculpted trees in the foreground.
I love those three trees. They caught my eye, too.
I saw a fence isolating shrubs and trees, then it dawned on me that the fence was the fountain. Very interesting.
It does look like a little picket fence…
Somehow I thought the fountain was a fence. It is so perfectly straight and even. Love how you’ve framed this. Great eye!!!
Thanks, Marcie. It was a very unusual fountain.
I love all the verdant trees. And that fountain really does look like a fence! Hahah.
