I love the contrast between the patterns of stone and those of the water. I made this image in Freiburg, Germany, where water is channeled through the old city center in an extensive system of gutters or Bächle that historically provided fresh, running water, both for animals as well as for fighting fires if needed.

Making photographs of moving water is always interesting as the length of the exposure influences what it will look like in the photograph. This was made at 1/180th of a second, fast enough to “stop” the water. The stonework is remarkable too. We rarely, if ever, see this kind of work in America!
