The story behind the image

Back in 1999 I visited Bologna in Italy for the very first time, and I immediately fell in love with the city.

While we explored the city we came across the Giardini Margherita, a nice park slightly outside the city center but still within walking distance. It’s a small jewell that waits to be discovered by tourists.

There was a pool with several fountains that were splashing the water in a pattern that looked like an inverted triangle. I like the graphical composition that delivers enough detail to make the viewer look twice. 🙂
