@mattblaze@federate.social Wow, built during the Civil War. I was worried that Robert Moses was involved and the answer is a hard no. As opposed to the Casino he tore down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Terrace_and_Fountain

Captured with a small full frame mirrorless camera and 21mm lens.

A six second exposure created a motion study; we can see how people move around the plaza. Or perhaps they’re ghosts.

Compositionally, this is mostly a study of circles and rings, with an imaginary diagonal radiating from the fountain to the man with the camera in the lower right.
