URBAN GRIT - OUR CITIES

Fountain

Sheaf Square outside of Sheffield's main train station has recently received an impressive makeover. The visitor is now greeted with the sound of running water over the steps of a huge new fountain backed by a steel water curtain. A long lens gave huge potential to isolate elements of the scene. I loved the curve on the edge of this fountain disappearing out of the frame; the piano key-like channels provide a hard-edged contrast to the trickling streams of water.

Location: Sheaf Square, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
