Full view of the fountain in the lobby
For my final contribution to Poli’s fountain challenge, I’m going with a fountain very close to home — in the lobby of my building! It’s a shame there’s no water in it, and it irks me that only one spotlight is working.
Zoom on the woman
What the heck is this thing?? A bat? An evil fish? Clearly they originally had water jetting from their mouths.
January’s fountain theme is defunct. I’d like to say a big “thank you” to Polianthus for hosting this challenge for the past year.

That’s one posh lobby Kaz. Couldn’t help noticing the cornicing 🙂

Some building! It must have a helluva view! But is it all a retirement complex? I wouldn’t have thought you old enough to be eligible.

It’s for ‘over 55s’ — and I turned 55 last July, so was able to sneak in! I’m by far the youngest resident of everyone I’ve seen. (Possibly also the only one who trudges off to work every day.) The view is fantastic, but I’m at the back so don’t see the beach (nor do I get the wonderfully cooling sea breezes); OTH, the back is much, much quieter than the front. 🙂

Hi Kaz – wow what a lobby! Amazing. I too will have a look at the building. It does look very nice indeed from what I can see. Love the fish head spouts on your fountain, does your fountain ever have water in it? Today is the last day of the fountain challenge, I got my end of the month wrong, so much going on :)! I will do a summary next week or the week after. Anyhow, THANK you for sharing your fountains, so many memorable ones, the Archibald fountain, the dandelion fountain, the fountain showing the journey of immigrants from the Northern to the Southern Hemispheres, Fiji, I think those were all yours, the Steam (boat?) fountain, loved them. thanks for sharing. It’s been so much fun getting to know you a little. Happy blogging Poli

No water in the fountain, hence the inclusion in “defunct”. 😉 Happy blogging to you too, and thanks again for going to all the trouble of organising and visiting.

No I know :), but I figured there may sometimes be water..could have been switched off for cleaning purposes (I am an optimist..)

In that case, they’ve been cleaning it since I moved in. 😉
