It's a stunning fountain Carole ... I love your macro captures of the wildlife pieces especially those frogs ... just gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteOh, aren't they beautiful, in bronze. I do love the three crabs, superb.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift...the details are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteNi Carole, that is an awesome fountain. Have a good week and stay away from those fires.
ReplyDeleteThe more you see, the more impressive it is!

And it does meander!! iread the other piece as well. I really like the ideaof marking the course of the stream, through the city streets!!
ReplyDeleteThat turle has such a long neck - I almost don't think it is real!!
The shapes that are throughour the fountain - a sort of a cross between a horseshoe and a calla blossom - are they representative of something, or just fluid shapes directing the flow of the water?
Glad to share so you could all enjoy and thanks for the comments you've left behind everyone.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I have no idea about the fluted shapes around a fountain part, if they represent something especially, other than being functional. I will try and found out ...
Would love to see that Tank Stream Fountain some day!!! Thanks for the great photos of it!!!
