Botanic Gardens, fountain

This fountain is one of a matching pair located outside the Palace Garden Gate at the Royal Botanic Gardens. While they aren't the most elaborate fountains in the gardens, they are decorative.

    I'm sure on a hot & thirsty day they would be a very welcome sight.

    I heard the weather is very hot so how refreshing this water fountain must look to you and other people who are visiting the garden. I love the patina!

    Sometimes simple is a pleasure in this overly decorative world Jim, bet the birds love this one. It sort of looks like a big bird bath.

      I chased them away, Peter. :P A couple arrived on the scene soon right after I took this shot and stepped up for a drink.

    Neat shot with the roundness of the bowl and the angles of the fence in the background ~ Very creative eye!
