Enigmatic Ancient Water Reservoir in Uruguay | Limited Edition of 10
Ancient Arch Reflection in Uruguay
This haunting photograph speaks in whispers, echoing tales from a distant past. I captured this image in Uruguay, within the quiet confines of an ancient water reservoir. The brick arch, aged and weathered, stands tall, its reflection creating a near-perfect circle in the still water below. The symmetry is captivating, almost hypnotic as if the past and present are locked in a silent dance.
The stonework, meticulously laid centuries ago, still holds firm, a testament to the craftsmanship of those who built it. The play of light and shadow adds depth, giving the scene a mysterious, almost eerie vibe. The darkness above contrasts with the faint light filtering through, illuminating the arch and reflection as if nature is spotlighting this relic of history.
This place, tucked away from the bustle of modern life, feels like a forgotten chapter in a long-lost book. The air here is thick with history, with stories of when this reservoir was vital to the community. Now, it stands abandoned, yet unyielding, its beauty undiminished by the years. There’s a calmness here, a quiet dignity that draws you in, urging you to take a moment to reflect—literally and figuratively.
In capturing this moody moment, I aimed to preserve not just the visual but the essence of what this place represents. It’s a slice of history, a glimpse into the past, all encapsulated in one shadowy image. The reflection, as clear as the original, almost feels like a portal, inviting you to step back in time.
This heritage piece, with its rich textures and profound stillness, would make a striking addition to any collection of eerie wall art. It would bring a touch of antiquity and mystery into your space. It’s more than just a brick wall photograph; it’s a story waiting to be told.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
