Mornington Park Fountain 1998

This is a frontal view of a fountain at one end of a circular brown stone wall. A low jet of water falls on to a platform creating the effect of a waterfall. The remainder of the enclosed ground is covered in shallow water. There is no visible outlet for the water. There is a cypress tree on either side between the stone wall and the sea. A white poat and rail fence stands between the edge of the park and the sea which appears in the background. Several cars are parked near the fence.
