Railway Station

The construction outside Sheffield's railway station is finally complete, revealing a sweeping cascade of water that runs down a curved steel wall and a series of stone terraces, with a dancing fountain at one end and an odd (dry) feature of shiny steel at the other. At night, apparently, it's illuminated. It's a great improvement on the rather scary main road and shabby little defunct fountain on a grassy roundabout that used to be here.

Great Shots! The one on the right reflection in shallow water reminds me of a shot I took in Sri Lanka a couple of years ago...

This was taken at one of the larger Buddhist Temples on the island.

Thanks! That's a lovely shot. The picture on the right actually doesn't involve any water; it's just polished stainless steel, very appropriate to Sheffield.

Here's another view of it:

Great geometry. Your passion flower was fab too. It's one of my favorite flowers. I have only seen the ones at Kew Gardens but many years ago.
