Water tower seating

These are some of the seats that surround one of two gigantic water towers in this garden. A lot of workmen from nearby construction projects use them during the day.

Tim was discharged from the hospital today and seems well, although exhausted from the ordeal. He is still taking antibiotics and has to go back to see the doctor at the hospital on Thursday. I certainly hope this is all over by then. And thanks so much, everybody, for your concern!

A fascinating structure with the ironwork and stone buttresses (?). I'm glad to hear Tim's recovering. V

Good news - home early - my wishes for a speedy recovery Tim.
Fascinating tower - maybe the stored water generates coolness which would explain the encircling seats - strange decor tho' ?? V

A fascinating tower and intriguing seating all around the base. By the way, is that a dog I see behind?

So glad Tim is getting better, what an ordeal.
