A naked female figure straddles two horses that are rearing up. This is the top of York House fountain. In the background, blue skies and a glimpse of red, Edwardian brickwork.
A wider shot of the fountain. There are several figures in the shot, on piles of well-placed rocks. On the far left, is a figure falling into the water, frozen in place by one foot that's attached to the rock. Other figures rise up out of the water, reaching towards the two horses rearing up. A female figure stands astride them. To the right, you can see a figure laid back in repose. In the background, leaves draping over the wall are turning an early autumnal red, and there's a well-manicured hedge that acts as a backdrop for the scene.
I've loads of pics of York House fountain in Twickenham on legacy Macs, but found one from the Cloud. (The crap shot on the left.) The other's from a search.
It's a hidden gem. And it's on a great Thames-side walk from Twick to Richmond Hill. #SundayPixFountain

In the Turbine Hall (one of Tate Modern's biggest rooms due to its height which spans several floors) is a huge, white fountain that looks like it's some kind of Victorian monument. It stand on two circular discs that have sculptures on them (can't quite work out what they are due to poor resolution). There's a column in the middle, with figures sitting on four sides of a square plinth. One appears to be Napoleon Bonapart but the face looks like it's wearing a party mask. Towering over all of them is a gigantic female figure. She has jets of water squirting from her, but it's hard to see exactly where in this shot. Standing around this giant sculpture are several tiny humans.
In the Turbine Hall (one of Tate Modern's biggest rooms due to its height which spans several floors) is a huge, white fountain that looks like it's some kind of Victorian monument. in this shot, taken from ground level so looking up towards the roof (the white strip is daylight). In this shot, pointed up towards the central figure of a female, we can see that the jets of water are squirting from breasts.
I don't have many pictures of fountains in my photo stream, but managed to find a couple taken during a visit to Tate Modern one lunchtime for #SundayPixFountain

Frozen 2 tier fountain with cherub on top and icicles on each tier.
Same fountain on a cloudy but sunny day with the pool around it and more of Alexandra Park showing behind it.

A statue of a woman sitting in what looks like a bath, surrounded by tiles and lights in cages. This is a fountain but there is no water. Photo taken in 2014 so with the best will in the world I can't recall why the water had been switched off

A three tier fountain created by strips of LED lights, the water is silver white and the rest a yellow light. It is surrounded by snow as it was Winter in Gdansk.

A shiny silver metal sculpture of a blimp or airship like the Hindenburg (maybe of it), with fountains underneath making it look like it's floating on them in the middle of a road in Brussels.

A large, ornate, sand-coloured fountain in a pool of turquoise water. Behind a black sculpture of a man on a horse standing a stone plinth, and behind that a church spire and a large grey building. An azure blue sky shines down.

A water fountain in a lake in a park, surrounded by trees. The spruts of water fan out and there is a rainbow at the bottom where it is caught by the sun.

Water cascading down a series of steps, with small jets of water along the curving fountain. Glass fronted stores curve around behind the fountain.

A stone fountain featuring a chubby, loinclothed child with curly hair, standing in the basin with one foot on top of a head that looks vaguely like a demon duck, or dragon, spewing water. There's a red brick house with white accents (servants quarters), part of a rose garden and some extremely tall pine trees in the background, against a brilliant blue sky.

A disused fountain in a woodland in Lerryn, Cornwall. Now in ruins, it was once part of an attempt to mirror the Tivoli pleasure gardens.

A large fountain, the top supported by 4 female figures representing the 4 rivers. There are 4 tritons at the base. It's in a little square surrounded by trees.
A lion with water emerging from its mouth.
Female heads with water emerging and the signs of the zodiac between them.
