In memory of...
posted by Kerry-Anne
This fountain, in the Company Gardens, was erected in memory of Howson Edwards Rutherfoord Esq., who was apparently a member of the Legislative Council at the Cape towards the end of his life. He died in 1862, and the fountain was erected in 1864. I know nothing else about him, and in fact, didn't even know this fountain existed until now! But it is rather pretty, isn't it? And I love the way it catches the early-afternoon sun shining through the trees.

The statue is nice and the setting is really nice. It reminds me of a peaceful area.

Excellent photo.
I'm still not sure whether one should have a paradigm shift in terminology, photo or image?
Will get my mind around this sometime.
