The worldwide Daily Photo theme for February 1 is fountains. I have decided to post a fountain close to home. This is the fish fountain at the swimming pool of our Langosta Beach condo. As the first photo at the left shows, the beach is just beyond the pool.The second photo shows the pool with a series of the fish fountains. The fish fountains have proven to be somewhat of an attractive nuisance, as some children like to play with them, and one guest (of another condo in the building, not mine) actually broke one of them. Our property management company was able to find a replacement, although it was not easy.
We do not have big monuments, parks or plazas in Tamarindo. There are only a few paved streets. There are a few fountains in Tamarindo. All of them are at shopping centers or condo developments. I therefore decided to stay close to home and show this fountain that we look down upon from our condo balcony.
Swimming pool fountains such as this have a functional purpose in warm weather. They aerate the water, which increases evaporation, and leaves the remaining water in the pool cooler. I know that in many parts of the world on Feb. 1 you do not have a problem with swimming pool water becoming too warm.

This week we are showing photos of Tanzania, featuring wildlife, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
