Fountain resurrected

My life is a bit subdued because of continued pain - tooth problem but it does make me aware of what others go through.

Today an old fountain built in 1912 from beautiful Italian marble was imported, but failed in the ’90’’s. It stood silent and dry until the local council thought it would be good to fix. Lots of fund raising and hard work brought this wonderful creation back to life today!

There were sandwiches, tea and cakes and a musical quartet to go with this event!

Three Good Things:
1.Sometimes I have no pain and its so good to recognise.
2. Sometimes Facebook gives great pleasure - performances, recipes and news items.
3. Sometimes you have to show vulnerability in order to get support.

Pretty composition and dof!

@yaorenliu Done that, Yao! She's given me the antibiotics and direction!

I like the Columbines (I think) in the foreground with the fountain and people blurred in the background- very pretty framing. It looks beautiful and I'm sure we're going to see more of it in your project. I hope your tooth improves soon too. Pain is bad enough but when it's in your mouth it seems twice as bad.

Great focus, dof...I hope your dentist can clear up your tooth problem soon.

This looks to be a very ornate fountain. It is nice that some people saw it for what it is and saw worth in making it work again!

I hope that you are feeling better soon and the pain is gone for good!

[Paula]

Lovely shot!

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 Thank you Skip for your comments and thoughts. I think the anti biotics might be getting on top of it now!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

It looks really pretty there, must be great to have the fountain working again.
Like the shallow dof you've used here.

[Pat Knowles]

Your poor mouth, do hope it calms down soon! Perhaps you can't eat & are losing weight nicely!!
Wonderful dof & a lively colourful celebration!

@happypat I can eat anything, Pat - no sensitive teeth at all. A bit of a mystery. And the toad in the hole (inspired by yours) was absolutely delicious - hot or cold! I didn't take a photo.
