A trip to Sunderland is not complete for our family without a visit to Sunderland Winter Gardens and Mowbray Park.
The “Winter Gardens” is really an absolutely enormous greenhouse, full of exotic plants such as banana plants and pitcher plants that you’d normally find in a tropical rainforest. It’s probably hardly surprising that in this mini rainforest, water features are important. One of our favourite water features is this stainless steel fountain. The water cascades down the surface of the tall steel tower, making wonderful wave patterns and catching the light as it flows.
Right outside of Sunderland Winter Gardens is Mowbray Park, a lovely old-fashioned municipal park, complete with a duck pond and this rather marvelous fountain. I love the way my son has captured the falling water in this shot.
Do take a look at the fountains others have found for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week.

Two very different fountains. I enjoyed looking at both of them. 😀
Glad you enjoyed my fountains 🙂
