Great job on this one, Rona - love the composition! Sounds like quite an interesting place! #1396887

For me, there's nothing more soothing than images of running water and this image with the gentle flow is so inspirational. What a pothole, definitely nowhere near the ones we are familiar with that you find in the streets of Los Angeles. #9567613
