the fountainhead novel - photos..

do you know the fountainhead novel?!?! if not, please check this wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountainhead
here are some photos i have taken that relating to this great novel. one more photo-story related to our Arundhati Roy's God of small things is on the way...

the fountainhead, in simple terms, it means a water jet. 


the whole novel is about buildings, architecture and much more actually.


on the climax, hero will be standing on top of the building.  and the novel's closing quotes are:

The line of the ocean cut the sky. The ocean mounted as the city descended. She
passed the pinnacles of bank buildings. She passed the crowns of courthouses.
She rose above the spires of churches.

Then there was only the ocean and the sky and the figure of Howard Roark.

Some people never noticed him at all

         Over time he had acquired the ability to blend into the background of wherever he was—into bookshelves, gardens, curtains, doorways, streets—to appear inanimate, almost invisible to the untrained eye. 
         It usually took strangers a while to notice him even when they were in the same room with him. It took them even longer to notice that he never spoke. Some never noticed at all. Estha occupied very little space in the world.
