Just a little waterfall/fountain in a nook in Houston that I thought was pleasing to the eye. Hope you enjoy it as well and thanks for stopping by to take a peek. Anita
It looks like three serpents Anita! What a novel idea - does the water shoot right up in the air? We have something like this at our local shopping mal - dolphins and the water shoots right up into a domed ceiling - I love to watch it! well done! Patti

All the wonders you seek are within yourself. Always glad to see visitors at My Gallery and thanks for your continued kind words and constant support. Anita
oh my gosh....i thought i was looking at fish wrapped around ice. i guess i need a movie to see that they are little fountains. i like this one because of the color and position of the fish. jen
A lovely fountain Anita & you captured it so well. They do remind me of serpents also. Fountains are always so soothing / relaxing and that's what I feel when I look at this image. Very nicely done ... thank you for sharing.
What an interesting fountain and you've photographed it so well. I like the angle you shot it from. The lighting is very good on these relaxing colors. It would be such a nice place to sit and catch one's breath.
In thumbnail, I thought the water was ice too..The colors of the...looks like water dragons to me...are rich and cool, and you've done them justice in this well composed and well shot pic. The angle is pristine, and the water is captured so well. With the slightly busy scene going on behind them, I'm glad you left as much of the water as you did on the left.. it not only puts the dragons off center, but I creates a lot of eye candy from the spray and the movement of the water from the effect of the spouts. :)PJ

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

And 'just' a great capture, of 'just' a little fountain?.....terrific capture Anita...Love the moody colours and shadows you caught in this............
And for your next trick, you need two loaves to go with these three fishes... and a crowd of 5000 to feed them to!
Splendid photo, Anita. Gave it a straight ten when I saw it in the VB earlier today. Excellent composition, colour and clarity. The thumbnail of this shot is as interesting as the full-resolution version because it seems the fish are encircling fountain-shaped icicles.
We have seemingly an overabundance of strange, weird, and unique sculptures in the good old USA. I'm undecided as to which catagory this fits into, but if it weren't for you Anita, I probably would never have seen this, nor enjoyed the chuckle it brought forth..................Neil
I did enjoy this Anita. The way the water glistens on those serpents makes them look real. Nice posting of a very unusual fountain. Thanks for showing to us. Excuse me now ... I tried tossing a coin in there and it bounced off my screen. Being Scotch ... I won't rest till I find it. (TYU)
WOW! great stop action and composition here, lady. one might think you were a photographer or something...oh wait..you are. and a damn fine at that! :o)
I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winked its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

This is a fabulous image and I thought that the water that is spraying up between the fish was Ice too at first. This is a wonderful design and I really like it. Excellent work and this is going in to the favs.

I knew the minute I saw this on Caedes front page that it was yours! Nicely composed with the angle as you've captured this shot. Great color saturation. Nice highlights. Well done on this one. anne :-)
Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
Oh, I like this .... before you view it full size it almost appears that the fish are wrapping themselves around ice ... gorgeous shot! Thanks for sharing.
Can I ask where in Houston the fountain is? Try to use a few different spots from the top of the water or a larger radius when cloning things out. The path from the lower left towards the middle fountain is a little conspicious. Good shot though. Really captures the motion of the water.
