| There's a pool at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (that's it below too, fronting the temple of Dendur, which has been around in one place or another since 15 B.C—more about that another day). So why do people feel compelled to toss coins into every container of water they come across? This is not the Trevi Fountain, folks (though I sincerely hope you got your wish if you made one). |

Don't know why, but they do. Here sometimes gypsies wade in to get the coins!
ReplyDeletePeople like to create their own dreams, here they simply wish to come back, and the fact to throw money makes the wish more true..I like this picture very much!
ReplyDeleteSympa ! J'ai fait un voeu, bien sûr !
ReplyDeleteNice shots! When I was a boy I used to wish that I could have all the coins in the fountains and wishing wells. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections. Good job.
ReplyDeleteYou caught nice reflection on that pool, in so many and different levels... Well done !
ReplyDeleteNice photograph. I don't know, some people will toss coins into any body of water even when begged not to do so.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I wonder who eventually collects the coins. Probably the fountain/pool cleaner! Interesting reflection of some netting in the water's surface.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - I love this gallery
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteRegards and best wishes
Water is special - it draws us like ancient Druids. Or Egyptians. Beautiful reflection photo!
