Description
...over the dam.
We've been staying at Balmorhea State Park in West Texas for the past two days. The main feature here is a 3.5-million-US-gallon (13,000 m3) freshwater pool built around the San Solomon Springs. The spring has a constant flow of 22 to 28 million US gallons (110,000 m3) a day so no chlorination is required. The water temperature ranges from 72 to 76 F (22 to 24 C) and up to 30 feet (9.1 m) deep.
The photo above is some of the crystal clear artesian spring water flowing over a small weir dam between the pool and a desert wetlands full of birds and other wildlife.

What a sterling job, you made of this watery view - shiney as a mirror, and a stunning result, Bill BB

Another of your very simple compositions with lots of complexity inside them. The left side is the sheer 'sheet' of water as it rushes to the edge. On the right, the splash and bubbles of the water as it hits lower level. And that red roofline in the center (I read your comment to Denise), which provided you with a perfect 'divider'. Maybe you moved until you got the reflection in just the right place---in which case your eye guided you to the right spot. (Sounds likely for your fine eye.) It almost looks like there are jewels underneath the water, on the left. A simple/complex piece, with a perfected composition. I imagine the sound was powerful too...
