PS: Please folks, give your photos a reasonable title! The best would be to enter the title in the "File Comment" box along with your uploaded photo. At the end of each month I'm hunting for the titles over your posts and sometime I have no other option than to use "unnamed", which is somewhat silly title

Detail of a spring flowing into a stone basin from the 15th century - called "Waschbach" near Amöneburg/Germany.
A local legend says that at this location the holy Boniface baptized the first Christians in that region. The water out of this spring was also used by women who cleaned their laundry there up to the 19th century. The spring therefore demonstrates both the spiritual and the material power of WATER.
Taken with GXR+M-mount+Leica Summicron 2,0-50mm.

First time posting, so hope this works ... not sure how to retain the Exif.
Update: fixed the Exif (thanks Pavel). Picture lacks contrast of the original file but I'll live with it for now.
