I love these village "fuentes" you find in the villages of the Alpujarra in rural Spain. Built in times long gone by. You just can't beat the sound of running water, especially in these difficult time...

"Acequias" flowing freely this morning. Don't think it will be long before they start to dry up though. Love the way the light has created small rainbows to the left of the falls.
