Water Gardens Addendum

I found two videos and one panorama picture on my iPhone, and think they help to capture the uniqueness of the Fort Worth Water Gardens.  So I'm inserting this post after the original one, in hopes that folks will stumble back here, and find these nuggets.

The Water Gardens were built in 1974, and designed by Phillip Johnson.  It has been called an oasis in the concrete jungle of the center of town, and while I think that is overly harsh description of Fort Worth center, there is no doubt that the design and architecture of the three pools (active, aeration, and meditation) are a deeply relaxing and interesting respite in the city.

First a video of the Active Pool.  This was the pool featured in the movie Logan's Run.

Next is a panorama photo of the active pool.  Another perspective of this very interesting architecture:

And finally, a video of the Aeration Pool.  Incredibly soothing and perfect white noise generator ;-)

I hope you found this "addendum" worthwhile.  We really thought the Fort Worth Water Gardens were a very unique and special place.  And a true oasis in the city.
