where even the sparrows drink (LEICA)

            Both shots were taken with 50mm lenses: this one with a Leica Summilux Asph. f/1.4, the other one with the Sony GM f/1.2. The images differ slightly in terms of crop, angle, and time of day. It's quite interesting to observe how distinct the rendering can be between the two lenses... Would be glad to read which one you like more in the comments!

on a hot summer evening in palma's parque de general riera, the sun is sinking slowly, casting long shadows over the scattered patches of greenery. here, in the heart of the park, where runners and bikers pause, and children weave through the air with their laughter, small water fountains like these stand silently â like birds gathered at a watering hole. their metallic surface catches the last rays of the day, reflecting the energy and thirst of the park-goers. it's a simple design, almost like a sparrow leaning forward to take a drink, serving as a humble reminder of life's basic needs amidst the cityâs chaos.
