I really am a big fan of them and they really are all over the place if you look. Notice that the really nice metallic cup here is not attached in any way to the fountain - i.e. very easy to steal. And for who knows how long, it has remained here. I really like what this says about the society here... respectful is a good word.http://dubaidailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/08/respectful-is-good-word-362.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (DXBluey)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32381919.post-8542460379179083129Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:58:00 +00002007-08-27T21:14:43.876+04:00flip-flopbikedubaiSpokes.
