Description

Subject Matter:

This city scene of Atlanta depicts a water feature adorning a plaza; the long narrow fountain runs parallel to the pavement. The elongated rectangular water feature cuts diagonally across the image, beginning from the bottom right edge. Parabolic jets of water shoot from nozzles and crisscross the pool. The jets of water are illuminated bright white by the sunlight. In the center middleground is a brownstone lowrise and behind it is a tall skyscraper. The man-made buildings stand out against the cloudy blue sky.

Physical Description:

This photograph depicts a fountain in the middle of a downtown location. There are buildings,  street lights, and a cloudy sky in the background.
