Water Water Everywhere

Fountains were originally purely functional, connected to springs or aqueducts and used to provide drinking water and water for bathing and washing to the residents of cities, towns and villages. Until the late 19th century most fountains operated by gravity, and needed a source of water higher than the fountain, such as a reservoir or aqueduct, to make the water flow or jet into the air.

The Outside World

On the odd occasion I can drag myself away from work it is a real revelation that there is a world happening outside of school. There are people all over the place, doing stuff. It is very rare that I get to see this, except on the odd day when there is a school trip or it is the Friday before a school holiday and I have no more lessons to teach...

 

Crepuscular Rays

I have been waiting for this for a while, and to be honest I am not happy with the outcome...I am sure last year, when I didn't have a camera, these scenes looked a lot better...but that may be just wishful thinking...

I like this definition from Wikipedia:

"Crepuscular rays (also known as God's rays), in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from a single point in the sky, specifically, where the sun is."

is it me or is this just a little bit captain obvious?
