The city of Aix-en-Provence where I'll be studying next year is often referred to as the city of a thousand fountains. I am looking forward to using my passion for photography to capture these beautiful fountains. Among the most notable is the seventeenth century Fontaine des Quatre Dauphins (Fountain of the Four Dolphins) in the Quartier Mazarin designed by Jean-Claude Rambot along with a monumental fountain from 1860 that is located at the bottom of the Rotonde (main hub in modern Aix). The fountain (pictured here) is set beneath 3 giant statues representing art, justice, and agriculture.
