London Flashback

 

When I was in London a few weeks ago, I made a visit to my favorite sculptural fountain, Waterfall.  I had heard some disturbing news that it had been moved so when I rounded the corner and saw it there, I was thrilled.

It was great to see it surrounded by a new set of benches and planters.  That makes me think it will stay put into the future.  

The fountain/sculpture was created by artist Antony Donaldson in 1991.  The first time I saw it was in 2005 when I stayed at an apartment near here.  I can't tell you how happy I am that I got to see it once again.

  4. looking at your views, it occurred to me that with the addition of a handle & some "brown" water & frothy foam, the nymphs could cut a tidy endorsement deal with the omnipresent Starbucks in the background…

  9. It has clearly been reconditioned, hasn't it? When I saw it, it was covered in lime residue from the hard water. Looks much cleaner now.
