I have posted this picture before, back in 2005, but it is well worth reposting. He is called Rain Man and sits in the lake in St Kilda Botanic Gardens or Blessington Street Gardens, if you like. The pump is solar powered and I would assume it does not work if it is overcast.
It was a bright sunny day when I was there, so the water was flowing full stream.
Bear in mind, this photo is over three years old, so who knows what the present status of Rain Man in our water starved land. Anyone know if he is still there and working?
I'm feeling drowsy too, Andrew.
ReplyDeleteWhat Reuben? Please explain. Is it an unworthy post?
ReplyDeleteNot really...but drowsiness was embedded in the subtext.
ReplyDeleteNot your best post though...but I'm sure you know that.
Ohhh I like him, can I take him home and pop him in the back garden?
ReplyDeleteHe's great, I must look for him when I venture down that way again!
It's a gorgeous fountain! Update us if you get back that way.
ReplyDeleteAwww Reuben, you don't like my Rain Man.
ReplyDeleteIf he goes missing Jayne.......
Agreed Daisy. Well if not me, then maybe Jayne will.
No no...I don't like him. I loath him. He's perverted...and lacks empathy.
