I see the wonderful Miss Mary B is ending her week off with a BANG !! well actually a CRASH ;) .... great find and the part I love the most besides the great architechture of the building is the woman who is staring at you from a bench but the angle you shot it at makes her appear to be sitting in the back of this wayward van :o)

What a crazy idea....but it is fun!!! You found something most special to shoot! The woman seems to be unfazed, not knowing she sits in a crazed van in the middle of a fountain where the lamps are at water level!Very inspired capture!
