That is the tallest man made waterfall I have ever seen. It must have been so spectacular to watch 11,000 gallons of water cascading down the walls... Wonderful photos Snap, thanks for sharing them... Pam :)
Thanks for showing your photos of the Water wall, I have not heard of it until I just read your post. Is it a memorial? It is beautiful and I can just imagine the sounds of the water. Thanks for sharing.

I'm taking us back to Williams Tower and the grounds around the building to the Water Wall.

We had seen the Water Wall many times on the local television stations. We had never visited the Wall before until the day we visited the Williams Tower for the art exhibition for Mr. Turner.
I can't begin to tell you how overwhelming it is. And, the sound of all that water! WOW!

It was a spectacle to see water on both sides of it. I can imagine the thunderous sound around there. Great post.

That looks like a very interesting place to visit. I love the grove of trees.
You had asked me if I bought an apron....No, I couldn't justify it. Now I kind of wish I had.
