A steady trickle of water in the courtyard fountain of the Selma/Dallas County Public Library creates a relaxing atmosphere for visitors who might want to rest upon one of the benches. Some choose to make a wish here. Looking through the fountain, you can see the children's wing of the library. The wrought-iron grillwork is in keeping with the municipal complex's southern-inspired architecture.
One of the things about Cairo that is so lovely is the way that they used to put fountains in all the courtyards. Nice shot
ReplyDeletea beautiful fountain, in such a charmed place... your photo is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice fountain. I like the sounds fountains make.
ReplyDeleteThe fountain and the ironwork remind me of the courtyards tucked away in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Lovely and serene.
ReplyDeleteI hope the wishmakers are leaving behind lots of coins for the
library!
