A Modern Day Oasis

Fort Worth, Texas: 

After a wonderful time attending Dr. Remya’s graduation ceremony. Sumod and Remya decided to take us to the water gardens at Fort Worth.  The last thing on my traveler’s list is visiting gardens and water fountains. A personal choice, where the human touch to the hybrid flower bushes or pruned trees, do not much amaze me. With a convincing nod, our hosts insisted that this one will not disappoint us. Slowly we meandered our way up. Way up? A water garden?

While we were still in disbelief, Remya asked us to step up a pedestal and peep down. Vola! We witnessed a spectacular sight. The water garden below was an architectural brilliance. Concrete blocks all around with water seeping through and a fleet of concrete steps take you down into the kind of an oasis. Just as much as my little one was excited to trot down, equally excited mamma and acha scampered with all the glee.





Designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. This urban park is rightfully referred to as the ‘cooling oasis in the concrete jungle’. This is indeed a place not to miss.  Pin it! For your next trip.
