Pool Talk (Kreislauf des Geldes)

Germany, Aachen – November 2017

The theme for Weekly Lens Artists 125 is ‘you can pick it’.

Where fiction, art and reality meet. I googled for some more information about this fountain and found it on the site of the Aachen tourist service. It is called ‘Kreislauf des Geldes’ aka Money Cycle.

In this cycle money goes from hand to hand. The fountain was created in 1976 by Karl-Henning Seemann. The people shown symbolise avarice, greed, patronage and begging. Just like money, the water in the fountain flows all year round, since it is fed by the thermal springs. In the summer in particular, the fountain is a popular meeting point for Aacheners and visitors to the city, and for young and old looking to cool down in the flowing water.

Corn

The Netherlands, Leimuiden – September 2020

The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #120 is ‘what a treat’.

I love to take photos from a car (rest assured, I am not doing the driving at those moments). And the result can be quite surprising at times. This one gives me the feeling of a small village, hidden in the landscape.
