I got to the spot I had visited a few days ago a little late tonight, and so I'm posting late. This fountain caught my attention last time so I came back to shoot it tonight. It's an ornate Italian marble fountain, named the Fulford Fountain, after a prominent founding family. Here are a couple of views.

And in honour of Sunset Sunday I'm posting this shot, taken in our backyard on June 15 this year.

Great shots! That last one is amazing. Real pretty!!!
I agree with you that the night lighting often make things so much more interesting. Love that sunset. I like they way it goes all the way from bright orange to blue. Thanks for another great one.
I think fountains were created for night lights. They are something special to view beneath a dark sky. Your sunset is gorgeous...what dramatic colors!
the fountain is gorgeous - I love fountains so much ! and the sunset is just wonderful !!
The fountains is quite exquisite,but no human can outdo our Creator as He paints the evening sky.
Blessings,Ruth
Great night shots and that flame red sunset is a wonder Rick.
@Biana - thank you Biana. There's a group that tries to post a sunset shot, in addition to any other photos, every Sunday - see my Sunset Sunday link above in the post. Fijne dinsdag!
@Scott - I live out in the countryside where it's pretty dark after sunset so have to drive about 15 mi. to the nearest town for some night shots - but there are some interesting things there. We seem to be pretty lucky with getting nice sunsets here (although I'll never get any mountains in them ;-) Thanks Scott.
@Carolyn Ford - I agree Carolyn. I'd seen this one in daylight before - just not the same. The sunset was taken literally just after the sun set (I had some from before it set but found the light a little too intense). Thanks Carolyn!
Rick that's a wonderful sunset shot but the ones of the fountain are absolutely beautiful. With shooting them at night they look like they should be in a romantic scene in a movie! Yup me and Carlos (Carlos and I) from Il Divo splashing in the fountain! lol
@marty - thank you marty; you have so many beautiful ones in France - I must come again some day!
@Ruth's Photo Blog - well said Ruth! Each one unique, and beautiful - difficult NOT to make a lovely photo of it.
@imac - thank you mac; I do like night photography but just don't get out enough.
@darlin - thanks Darlene! Maybe you could invite Carlos over and the 2 of you could perform a duet in the fountain! ;-)
The fountain is lovely and that sunset ~ Awesome!
The sky makes me speechless :-)
Greetz,

@Kerri - thank you Kerri (sorry, just getting caught up on comments).
@CarreraCaballo - we are lucky to get some beautiful sunsets right in our backyard!
