Maymont - Koi Pond by timerskine

Maymont - Koi Pond

The Missus and I visited Maymont, a 100 acre historical estate built by a late 19th century railroad magnate. The mansion and gardens are preserved and open to visitors. The grounds also house a nature center, where injured or orphaned animals that cannot be re-wilded have a forever home.

Maymont's Japanese garden, the largest one on the east coast, has an enormous koi pond. And when I say that, it is in the sense that both the pond and the koi are enormous. The pond really is like a small fishing lake and the koi are as big as a medium-sized house cat.
Beautiful reflections. This looks so peaceful

I presume that the koi grow very large given all that space. Beautifully flat water.

@ggshearron It is big...and you're seeing about 1/3 of it here.

@jon_lip That's the most likely reason for their unusual size ("But what about the GOUSs?" "Goldfish Of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist")
