This view of the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca from the Parc de la Mar provides a beautiful blend of the five traditional Chinese elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Metal: the statue in the foreground
Wood: the palm trees growing in the Mediterranean climate
Water: the park’s large pond, which I think is fed from the Bay of Palma
Earth: the stone and bricks of the walls
Fire: This one is a stretch! My family has a joke that every modern art sculpture (no matter the name or subject) actually depicts a flame. So, here we have a statue of a flame to represent the element of fire. Ha!
You can find more elements at the original Lens-Artist challenge.
I love your interpretation! Perfect and beautifully blended these five elements.
Thank you so much!

Hi Mei-Mei, now my lazerswords are forged in light but maybe that statue was forged in Fire? Great interpretation and photo in any case.
