Another slightly different angle of the waterfall columns. You can see how the trees are planted in multiples and behind the waterfall columns is a narrow reflecting pool with two rows of stone colums, ivy covered roofs and lattice windows and benches.

Wortham Park
Nikon D700, 24- 70mm f2.8 lens at f11 and 1/125, ISO 200
When we had the big freeze in the Houston area in January I wanted to find the frozen waterwall in the medical center...no luck. But we did find this park that I was not aware existed --- Gus and Lyndall Wortham Park at Holcomb and Main, built in 1991 (note, this is not the Gus Wortham golf course).
Talk about repeating elements! Ivy colums, waterfall columns (turned off), rows of trees, rows of bedding plants, a reflecting pool with fountains (off too), arbor columns, benches, lattice windows and shadows from all the vertical elements. It is not possible to shoot all the elements in one frame, and we arrived here late in the morning so the light was turning too harsh but this is a place I would like to return to. Here is a 3.3 gigapixel panorama of the park taken by David Engle (Texas_Photo) with a Canon SX110 camera but while the waterfall columns do gradually increase in height, they do not curve through the park as this image seems to show : Panorama
