Chez Felix, Antibes

Photo by Stephen Bohn
Aside from the restaurant Chez Felix, where the writer Graham Greene once frequently lunched, this little square in Antibes contains the Aguillon fountain, built as a tribute to the Brigadier d'Aguillon of the royal army of King Louis XVI because he restored the Roman aqueduct and brought drinking water to the town in 1785.

Trevi Fountain, Rome

This photo of the magnificent Trevi Fountain was taken quite a few years ago during my first trip to Rome. Although I've been to Rome since, I never made it back to see this fountain again and I regret that.

Dolphin Fountain

I've seen many variations of these dolphin fountains throughout Europe. This particular one is located in the town of Bruges, Belgium. Bruges is another of those places that feels as though it's been forgotten by the passage of time, especially if you find a quiet corner like this one.

I added a gold texture by the name of  Sand and Stones from Jodi and then I adjusted the contrast with Curves.
