The Emperor's Fountain

Chatsworth House's record breaking, gravity fed fountain was in full flow today.

I copied Him to get this image, but his phone one is so much better!

that empty bench makes all the difference to me in this.Well composed

[Walks @ 7]

I'm with @gerry13, the empty bench is perfect, it is as though the bench is the fountains audience.

I agree, lovely composition

[katy]

beautiful light, mist and sky. The composition elevates it to art for sure! FAV

[Susan Wakely]

What a great view with very nice light and shadow on the bench and water.

The light through the spray is fabulous!

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful catch of the water spray

[Dawn]

A lovely catch

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely composition & light. Have been to the gardens, but not been in the house. Fiona was a baby when we last visited, so 30 years ago!

[Kathy]

Very pretty. I like the light and the autumn colors in the background.

[Pyrrhula]

A great capture of all those beautiful nature and water elements .Fav.

[Babs]

Impressive fountain. We visited Chatsworth House a few times when I was a child including a couple of school trips too. It is a lovely place to visit.

Beautiful capture of the water spray against the dark sky.

[Sarah Bremner]

Gorgeous photo. I recognised it straight away even though it's been a long time since we were there

[Shutterbug]

I love the way the water fans out like a veil.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I particularly remember The Cascade and I suppose that is still there.
