Morosini Fountain

The Morosini Fountain is a fountain in Heraklion, on the Greek island of Crete. My photograph was taken a little way from it, on a sunlit pedestrian street outside a Cosmos Sport shop. A street performer stands there costumed in white, holding a bunch of red roses, and beside the performer a person in a straw hat poses for the camera. The light falls hard on the paving and the shopfront behind, and the two figures hold their position in the middle of the walkway, the white costume and the red of the roses the brightest things in the frame.
