I Was Delighted to See this Waterfall Again

The photo shows the gym where I work out in Paso Robles. They call it Kennedy Adventure. It's one of the many Kennedy Fitness clubs in our county. It is one of the newest, and it was built just a few years ago after I moved here. I've always loved the waterfall at the entrance, but when the drought was declared, they turned if off. The City had turned off its own fountain in the City Park and restricted water use for anything but necessities.
A few days ago, after the rainfall totals started looking good, they declared the drought over in our country and the day after that the waterfall was back. I look forward to seeing it each time I go to the club now.
Does your area have a waterfall? Is it natural or man-made like this one?

It looks great! Unfortunately I don't have any waterfalls nearby, but I've been to some really magnificent waterfall scenic spots.

That is beautiful. We have many natural waterfalls in our area. There is a beautiful one that is only a ten minute walk from my place.

No waterfalls in the area that I know of though I am sure there is one someplace.

There aren't any natural waterfalls in my immediate area, but since I live between the mountains and the fall line, there are plenty within a short drive in either direction. There are plenty of fountains and water features nearby. During water shortages, they have been turned off and watering restrictions put in place. During those times, if people had a well, lots of signs would pop up announcing that the yard was watered or the fountain operated by well water so they would not be fined.

How nice that it is back! We have many waterfalls near my place up north, but down here in the desert they wouldn't stand a chance unless they were inside a building. Yes, there used to be one with color changing lights in a restaurant here, but it went out of business.

I have one installed in our garden
I do not switch it on a daily basis but occasionally.
A water fall in a garden is a soothing experience, specially when one strolls around in the garden.
