My World

Visit My World to see more of our world or to participate yourself!

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




A three acre setting



Dedicated in 1985
Built and designed by John Burgee architects with
Philip Johnson Network


The gabled archway fronting the fountain, the scaenae frons
is reminiscent of an ancient Roman theatre stage.


11,000 gallons of water
per minute
spill over the walls of the 64 foot high fountain.



front and back




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!
