Fountain on Way to the Meetings

More architectural shots from the place we held our retreat. I'm now at the Phoenix airport heading home, leaving the extreme heat (not sadly), but so pleased with how all our meetings went. I feel fortunate to have the colleagues I do, many are former students who are blossoming. Love it! Hoping our condo building's air conditioning is fixed before I return as temperatures are rising in Chicago too.
Beautifully captured and processed.

Very Mediterranean feel to the decor - and possibly the temperature as well!

Great textures and composition. Wish the temperatures were rising here - they seem to be doing the opposite!

Fabulous framing and I thought the same as Sally @salza it does have a Mediterranean feel to it.

Fabulous shot, Taffy. I love all the detail you have captured in this photo and your use of B&W for this photo. Must be 1/2 asleep trying to get the words out. FAV

@olivetreeann In Phoenix -- the Arizona Grand Hotel. It was a perfect location for our small company's meetings -- we had nice rooms and a good work space, and it was conveniently located to the airport. There's also a golf course there and swimming areas for more family vacation situations. It's huge with different plazas and structures and fountains, so I just carried my camera to and from our meetings to try to get at least something I could use to post. It was very very hot, though (we always hold our retreats off-season because the rates are more affordable -- it means being really hot or really cold, depending on where we go!

@taffy Funny- it reminded me of Phoenix! I was there quite a while ago now- but would like to return someday and see the Grand Canyon again- especially now that I know how to take a good picture of it and have the camera to do so!
