Yesterday I mentioned water features. Looking at this photo of the area below the swimming pools at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort, I don't think you would imagine that you are in the middle of a desert.This does not look like an area that gets only 7 inches (17 cm) of rain per year and some of our water comes from the Colorado River, pumped up 1,000 feet (305 m) in elevation and transported through canals more than 200 miles (322 km). In fact, the Central Arizona Project canal that brings water from the Colorado River flows through north Scottsdale very close to the Desert Ridge resort.
This week we are showing photos of the whimsy of public art and the classic architecture of Chicago on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

Another lovely view at this resort.
I like the capture of the water in flight. It would be interesting to do this photo in low light to see if the photo could be taken to capture the ribbony effect of the falling water.
Fun to play with water and light. I agree with Dave. Great series on this hotel!
