Beautiful water feature.

This is a fountain in the Marjorelle Garden in Marrakech, an absolutely beautiful haven in a hot and busy city. It's a glorious mix of light, shade, water features, cactii and the blue of this water feature is on lots of the hard surfaces.
It was designed by Jacques Marjorelle on four acres of land he bought in 1923. He had a villa built there and expanded the garden to about 10 acres I think.
Yves St Laurent discovered the garden in the 60's and when he heard it was to be sold as a building plot in the 80's (!!!) he and his partner Pierre Berge bought it. When YSL dies Pierre had his ashes scattered in the rose garden. If you find yourself in this part of the world it's a 'must visit'.
