Rocky water fountain

The Best Western Dakota Ridge Hotel at 3450 Washington Drive has an usual water fountain in their lobby, a comfortable place to sit and relax. February 1 is the City Daily Photo blog community's theme day.

Nice. Nothing like the sound of a little waterfall to relax the guests.

Dina, beat me to it...I just love the sound of water cascading over rocks!

Many Aussie motels used to have these types of fountains but most have sadly vanished in renovations.

Lois said...

I agree! This does look like a very relaxing place.

Water falling over rocks, what a lovely sound that must be.

Nothing better than the sound of water to welcome you.

I didn't think about fountains inside of places. This is really nice. I'm sure it adds a nice ambiance to the hotel lobby!

Jack said...

Very nice, Leif. I have a pool and think of it as a very expensive white noise machine, kind of the way this fountain's noise would be.

I hear the calm sound...

My husband would love this--he's fond of indoor fountains.

Birdman said...

That's the idea up North... go indoors.

Sharon said...

Good job, finding an indoor fountain!

Gabriele said...

Sieht toll aus und ich finde man kann sich gut entspannen bei diesen plätschern in der lobby.
Das ist wie mit einem Aquarium das entspannt auch wenn man reinschaut...Herzliche Grüsse von uns 2

Nice! Looks like a 'jabal" water fountain here in the UAE.

Nice indoor fountain

Rob Siemann said...

Oh yes, a coffee, and just the sound of the water. No music please!

Wouldn't mind putting me feet up with a nice glass of red plonk right there!

Saretta said...

Usual? or unusual? thanks for the encouragement on keeping up my blog. it's a time thing... anyway, have you heard that they have invented a new zodiac sign? to make space for it, you and I have suddenly become Tauruses! shocking! I'm a Gemini all the way, no stubborn Taurus for me! ;-)

I'm sure that fountain is really appreciated by weary travelers! Nice shot too. Hope you guys are staying warm in Eagan. Regards from Beirut.

Looks very nice, and a good choice for the theme-day - photo!

I love natural-looking indoor waterfalls! I really have to get a small one for the house one of these days.
