Description
One of the most appealing aspects of the Swiss city of Basel is the huge assortment of fountains. These beautiful structures found all over the Altstadt (Old Town) and beyond, vary in age and design. Some are relatively new and some date all the way back to the middle ages. All of them shimmer as the sunlight creates exotic aquamarine gemstones that appear and disappear on the surface and invite passers by to drink from the taps pouring fresh water into the basins.

It takes a really special eye to capture scenes the way you do. I love your work. These colors are so gorgeous. It's hard to pick a favorite, but this one would be right up three on the top five.
