"Love is a portion of the soul itself,
and it is of the same nature as the
celestial breathing of the atmosphere of paradise." -Victor Hugo


i expected to find historical places in philadelphia. and i did. i saw the liberty bell, the independence hall where the US constitution was signed, i saw old buildings and quaint shops... but i never expected to see this: a fountain of love, in the middle of the downtown. it was quite a view. as you can see in the picture, i wasnt the only one amazed by it.

the fountain was shooting straight up as if wanting to reach the sky...very simple in its form, but very powerful. awakening, roaring, breath-taking. much like the love which most of us dream of: one that would take us from the dark avenues of our souls and bring us high up to the heavens.
