Hajer Garden, oasis in an oasis

I have to be honest: This fountain was not in Hajer Garden, although there were many exactly like it that weren't running when we were there. I decided it was nicer to see what they looked like in operation so used this picture of one that was in a nearby park.

Very pretty with the gold globe in the center and the trees make it look like a cool place to rest. V.

I know it's not summer, but the light in this series is quite beautiful, not harsh at all. I like the combination of organic and geometric shapes. V
