I Got The Blues... in Bordeaux

Explored! Highest position #366

This is a photo I took of "Place de la Bourse" in Bordeaux France where I was living
for over a year. I was awe struck by this structure and continued to go back
and admire its beauty.

This is one of my favorite photographs that I had taken while I was traveling and
living abroad.

I hope you enjoy and comments and favs are always greatly appreciated!

Thanks for viewing!

*Chuan Chee*

It's a 'Miroir' D'eau. It's a large 3500 m2 surface that gets covered with 2 cm of water and then disappears back into the grates that you can see in the foreground. It's on a cycle where it fills up with water, then disappears to create the perfect reflection then there's even water vapors that come up.
