Old and Broken Fountains

Once a flowing rock waterfall.  It is curious that the people who built it would put it right up against the house where it could do damage to the brick.  It has not functioned in many years and now only provides a place for weeds to grow and rats to breed.

 An old bird bath with a broken top.  Right next to the gas main. 
















The base of an old water fountain that hasn't worked in many, many years.


 One can see all the way to the plumbing of a has-been rock waterfall that hasn't worked in many years.  It's a good place for rats to hide, though.
The fish was once an upright water fountain, blowing water out of its mouth.  You can see the tail is broken off.  It is much too heavy to move.  I doubt that even two or three burly men could move it.

The Grecian girl carrying an urn over her shoulder is broken at the waist, also a remnant of a long-ago time.
