After my first visit to King Fahd's Fountain in Jeddah, I was so impressed that I immediately returned home, did some research, and posted 9 facts about the fountain.
This time around, I wanted to see if I could get a bit more creative with my pictures. The fountain
may be one of a kind and it
may be fantastic to witness from anywhere and at anytime, but you can only take so many pictures of it before it gets old.
I hope to do separate posts on the fountain at sunset and at night :)
Anyway,
the fountain was donated to the city of Jeddah by
King Fahd, the 5th King of Saudi Arabia, who died on August 1, 2005. He was succeeded by the current king, King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz.
Less history, more pictures. Right? Right.

| It's alive! I actually saw when it was first turned on that evening (which was really cool), but I couldn't get my camera out in time :( |

| Watch out birdie! |

| Seriously. Far away. |

| Here's that "creativity" I was talking about. |
