Gosh Vivec is such a beautiful city

Captured with a small full frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.

A six second exposure created a motion study; we can see how people move around the plaza. Or perhaps they're ghosts.

Compositionally, this is mostly a study of circles and rings, with an imaginary diagonal radiating from the fountain to the man with the camera in the lower right.

@mattblaze@federate.social My favorite bit of the park. I was worried it might have been poisoned by Robert Moses but the space is part of the original Vaux and Olmsted design (RIP Casino) and the fountain is an 1873 design by Emma Stebbins https://www.nycparktours.com/the-story-of-bethesda-terrace-and-fountain/

@mattblaze@federate.social So many stories. A photograph that could hold my attention for a long time as I ponder each one.
