Resting Water Fountain
Here are some pictures of the water fountain on Belle Isle, and it has actually turned off about two months ago. It is now resting but still receives some visitors now and then.

Nice photos. Wish the water had been running. I love your quotes.
Beautiful reflections of the fountain. Very soothing and peaceful as is, doesn't even need to be turned on.
Lovely shots :)
The fountain is beautiful! I could see the tiers! The reflection is so clear!
Beautiful fountain, beautiful reflection, beautiful photos!
Such a tranquil image. I think I like the last image with just a little bit of this closest bank touching the foreground. The reflection is just that little bit wavering indicating a slight movement in the water. I like this shot.
A very beautiful fountain, the reflection is wonderful. Great shots Icy.
Nice shot and being able to take a rest just before Christmas is such a privilege!
Beautiful place and the reflections are great!
Lovely photographs!
Great reflections and your captions go well with the photos Icy. Have a nice weekend.
How nice to look at it, very relaxing.

These shots are breathtaking. I would love to see a fountain like that.
