Aw thanks so much for your kind words. It was indeed pretty close to the river!! Here's the point on the map

Here's another shot of the same building

I'm fairly certain the crystals are calcium oxalate

....showing crystals of calcium oxalate (black-edged rectangles). These crystals embedded in the cell cytoplasm are known as raphides. Calcium oxalate crystals are common in the stems and leaves of many plants; they have no known metabolic function other than to serve as a means of disposal of excess calcium in the plant. source

Calcium oxalate can form kidney stones!

And, also this...

Garlic can be purple because of two reasons: it is one of the “hardneck” varieties of garlic with purple stripes or because your white garlic reacted with something acidic. Both are safe to eat and can be used in a variety of dishes. source

So I imagine that the purple garlic comes from the variety, and not the crystals

Wow, cool stairs!

I've written it as the photographer has done, but I'll add [sic] to it for clarity

I really love these, thanks for sharing!

The plastic foil looks like it could be good fun to play with, and not just for photography. I can see myself getting some and using it as a 'filter' to distort a landscape or still life and then painting (water colour/acrylic) the mosaic of colour to get an abstracted image

I found this on Amazon which looks the same as yours 👍

It's a Calatrava!

Actually yes, image was taken on Lyon-Saint-Exupéry TGV station, designed by Santiago Calatrava

Interesting article on the site plus lots more photos for scale...

edit large pools approx 2-3 metres, smaller ones 0.5 metres, not scientific just estimates from photos including people

Right, I cross posted it over to pics and got this reply from NaN

That’s a stock wallpaper on the Galaxy S10, maybe others

Lol if true....it was accidental sausage fingers that did it!

It's also the entrance to the Scholomance.

It is the Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira, in Sintra, Portugal! It was used in initiation rituals by the Masonry!

I hope I didn't come across as rude or dismissive 🙂 The Wave is an actual location in the USA that is hard to describe without having the ability to see it.

I agree, great photo! And I mean really, a photo of such an abstract place could perhaps be abstract photography after all.
