About this memory
A composite image of the Ross Fountain in December 2022, the water turned to ice. The photographs were taken on a mid-winter ‘sunny’ afternoon with blue sky. The lower image shows the Fountain with Castle behind, the scale given by the people behind. Top left shows the upper part of the Fountain, the upper figure of Plenty and the three allegorical figures representing Industry, Poetry and Science all covered in ice. At upper right is a close-up of the three allegorical figures.
