Real water towers at Hajer Garden

I have only recently started visiting this park behind our house again since recovering from my broken toe, although this was taken before the great turkey accident. The other week I saw a large group of covered women on a seesaw, which would have made a great picture, but would have been too hard to do in the low light without being obvious. It’s really a pity because there are so many scenes like that that I can’t capture due to the restrictions against photographing people without their permission.

I love these gigantic water towers, but no matter what I do or what camera I use, they are always a bit skewed, and trying to straighten them misshapes the towers.

Looks like an alien invasion over Stonehenge. Lovely park photo with the water tower background. Vote.

They actually look really great here with the amount of skewing minimal and not distracting. In fact, I think it gives them life and makes them more interesting and imposing. I also like that this place kind of looks like a miniature version of Stonehenge. Great image, Helen. ~BV~
