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.

  6. 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.
