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

The water just keeps up with the height it is Patti, never shoots any higher. Glad you came by.

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

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

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.
