Italian Gardens

It is January yet the sun keeps popping out from beyond the clouds. The crispiness that is created makes the days more alluring then ever I would say. Take the fountains of Italian Gardens in Kensington Gardens opposite Lancaster Gate Station as an example.

When the sun hits such subject all you what to do is to stop and observe. You just want to soak this spectacular atmosphere.

Looking at the image above, one starts to wonder if this is really a water creation captured at the moment of a flourishing beauty or a glass installation instead.

Similarly, both these pictures taken 'in the moment' reveal such a perfection in motion. You can see the individual drops thrown back up when the masses fall down.

The Italian Gardens is a small patch of Kensington Gardens that is certainly worth visiting. If nothing else it is the combination of what water can become and the sculptures standing silently around that create such a backdrop of tranquility.


The Italian Gardens have been restored and the stonework cleaned recently; right in time for us to use it for its peace and elegnace. Therefore, see you there. Kx
