Artist's Description
The famous 'Basilisk Fountain' of the Swiss city of Basel dates back to the year 1884 and legend has it that this fantastical green creature hatched from a chicken egg that came from a lizard! Apparently they resided close to streams and could run across the water on their hind legs when afraid. Nicknamed 'king of serpents' owing to their strange combination of a dragon's wings, tail and neck and the body, head, claws and comb of a rooster, there are many fables and tales surrounding these fountains of which there are supposedly 28 still remaining from an original 50. I hand blended textures with my original photograph.
About Carol Japp
I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
