Bucket Fountain
Visiting Wellington today, of course I had to wander past the iconic bucket fountain. I don't know anyone who doesn't adore this piece of Wellington history, while also secretly being just a little bit embarrassed and unsure about quite why they do.
Possibly it's because when they were toddlers they loved to play games with it's splashy, chaotic-and-yet-almost-predictable dumping of water. I remember times when the kids were younger and we couldn't drag them away until the big bucket had tipped. Or perhaps I misremember, and they couldn't drag me away!
Lot's of fun though, and here it is at it's best, on a perfect autumn day.
