My World Tuesday

My post for this week's My World Tuesday is still part of out Royal Botanic Gardens visit and this time I am going to share with you the Sensory Fountain.
"A spherical fountain designed to be touched, seen and heard - water begins to flow as you approach. Designed for the Herb Garden in 1994 by Victorian artist Tim Jones and made by Dave Mune at the Art Foundry in Victoria. The fountain is surrounded by a bronze ring of herbs drawn by Gardens’ illustrator Marion Westmacott. Donated by the Australian Bank Ltd to commemorate their 10th anniversary and the 175th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens."

It's nice to see that some people are actually touching it. I bet tons of people like to hang around it in hot weather!
