Fountain!

I hate duplicate (or triplicate!) scenes, but this was originally my favorite shot of the main square, although I didn't include it because I didn't feel it showed enough of the scope of the place. Now that I've decided to make a sub-gallery out of these images, I guess I can go crazy ;-).

I loved finding a working fountain -- there are a lot of them around, but we didn't see too many in operation. Just in that heat and on the last day of the weekend (Saturday), nobody in sight to enjoy it but us.

Beautiful composition here. Love the blue of the water with the sand colored architecture. ~
Did it feel odd, being the only ones out and about?

Excellent capture of this fantastic place. I still can't believe the complete absence of people!!

Really seems a deserted town (love that play of words)...v.
