The pause that refreshes

Another working fountain, so nice to see! It really wasn't all that hot when we were at Al-Kindi this day, 33-34 degrees Celsius, which I think is around 93-94 degrees F. I do like the style of architecture in the background!

This really looks like the middle East. Terrific capture of this beautiful site. Love the architecture, and the contrast with the blue fountain. The palm trees definitely add that needed bit of green! But at 33-34 c, here that is a heatwave! V

I have to use an oven to get that heat here :)
