I was thinking there is something sad in the picture. Then I found a similar comment. I think its the caption and the picture, when you read it together, it gives such a feeling. Nice colours though.
it is one of those colors i have a fondness for. but it does seem to have that same sad “ambiance” along with the color as those empty swimming pools we used to skateboard..
a small kiddo in the late sixities, this kind of tile was everywhere (in San Diego).and seemed to have been there for a little while. that color blue tile always kicks in memories of those days.
it is surprising to see a fountain without water in August. I’ll have to inquire next time I go to the library. Maybe start a gofundme account. 🙂
I remember a few years back during a drought they turned all the fountains off. As Claudia said, it makes for sadness. No droughts here this year! August is very green, still.
thanks…it is sad, especially in the summer, i even had to go into pull some fast food containers out before i took the picture — that would have been too much of a downer
It reminds me of a fountain in a small park that I sometimes run in. It was abandoned and dry for a couple of summers and last summer, they demolished it and now – there is just a flat concrete circle where it was. I pretend I am running through the fountain when I go there and run over the spot. Kind of crazy but I felt bad about the loss of the fountain, I liked to see the water as I went by.
Beautiful concentric circles. Or is it eccenctric?

they may be eccentrically concentric, or possibly concentrically eccentric

Probably emptiness is that ‘sad ambiance’ maker!

I think you are right. The sadness of the lacuna.

This seems somehow very 50s. Give that tile some water! (K)

A non-fountaining fountain is sad. Somehow this photo really captures that feeling, I think.

i do like, however, the word “non-fountaining”

Thank you. It seemed to encompass all the things the fountain was no longer doing, splashing water up, and also, losing its identity, poor thing.
