More photos from Roundhay park

The "Castle" in all it's glory, overlooking part of Waterloo lake.



Waterloo lake (it is actually a reservoir, completed in 1815, and named commemoratively for the battle earlier that year).



A different swan to the one in the above photo, which refused to come close enough for a good shot of it.



Barran's Fountain, very sadly not containing water, probably due to "health and safety"! A little silly due to the large lakes full of water you shouldn't really drink, but then I do see that putting it at waist height in a kind of bowl probably makes it more tempting to some people. Not having ducks in it may also change things!
