Trapped In An Atom
A fountain in "Bosque de Chapultepec" (Chapultepec Forest), Mexico City. To some the sculpture represents Valentine. When I saw this in Google Street View my first impression was that it represents a pair of swimmers, however a search on Google revealed its true name and purpose - The fountain/sculpture is called "Fuente de los Fisicos Nucleares" meaning Source of Nuclear Physicists.
Latona Fountain, Garden of Versailles
Latona Fountain, a massive wedding cake style fountain in the Garden of Versailles, is one of the most attractive fountain in the Garden. The fountain depicts the statue of the Goddess Latona, protecting her twin children Apollo and Diana. The second and third tiers of the fountain have frogs, while the lowest tier has turtles and alligators. Main theme of the fountain is based on the Latona Mythology in which the Goddess turns the Lycian peasants into frogs when they derided her and refused to give water to her and her thirsty children.
Roses N' Roses
Rosaleda (Rose garden) in Buen Retiro Park, Madrid, has a large collection of Roses and roaming through it in Google Street View was a visual treat.
This garden should not be confused with another and probably the official Rosaleda de Madrid (Rose Garden of Madrid) where roses are grown and tested.
