While on my morning walk the other day I came across this small building and bench (complete with water fountain) near downtown Houston and thought it looked inviting. As always, thanks for stopping by. Anita

Isn't that a public restroom? If it is, Houston has the most relaxing, peaceful poopers I have ever perchance had the pleasaure of previewing! ( I have lost it...)

This is a really lovely composition. A bit of haze but not enough to spoil anything. The only thing I find distracting is the drinking fountain in the foreground. I think I might have cloned it out since there's no way to shoot around it and maintain the integrity of the rest of the image. Nice one Anita. anne :-)

Very nice. I think that the drinking fountain is ok. It must be very relaxing to have some place like this to relax in a city the size of Houston.

Very nice image here Anita! I didn't realize Houston has so much greenery. I think of tumbleweeds and dry flat plains when someone mentions Texas. Brava!

No doubt this posting was popular. Lord, took me 5 minutes to get to the bottom of this page just to make a comment. All that trouble just to tell you what a wonderful image this is. Love how you composed this. The shade, shadows and sunlight are a perfect blend in this ideal setting. Beautiful ... simply beautiful. Now I'm gonna sit down on that bench ... I'm pooped.
