Another photo from the Halifax Public Gardens. This is one of the fountains located there. This particular one was installed back in 1903. Written on the plaque was the following information: "Erected by the commissioners of the Public Gardens in commemoration of the services of our citizen soldiers in the South African Campaign 1899-1902." Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Wendell - Never boring, but clearly Boering! I like the perspective, providing the flowers and trees surrounding the statue. Thad

Clever punning title, Wendell. My knowledge of the whys and wherefores of the Boer War are pretty sketchy, so I'll hold my tongue there (not an easy task, I can assure you.......LOL). Lovely shot though.

I like this shot very much - it's quite beautiful and your post processing work really brought out the highlights without going over the top. I also love puns!

The title is as good as the photo Wendell. I like how the statue shines in the sunlight. Excellent capture.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Very nice colourful photo and the gardens look well looked after as well.It is nice to see shot like this as i would not see this if i was not on this site.You say Boering that is a reference to Boer war yes.I bet he keeps the pigeons away.

So beautiful place to sit and read a good book and between one and another chapter look around and enoy nature beauty and life! Love it! But you could make some photo manipulation and put a beautiful flower in the hands of the statue and take out the gun! :-))))

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes."
Hey, Wendell....
Nice play on words in the title. A beautiful scene and a great place to eat a picnic lunch. Excellent use of light and dark and wonderful colors in the garden. There are just too many war memorials for my tastes.

Nice colours and good clarity in this photo Wendell. It should have got a better c-index.
