I wonder if the standing water lay in a trough, a lower piece of ground, that was left over from this exhibition?

I think I can recognise some of the trees from that time.
No, this is our local park. There's quite a bit of it they've used so whenever they put up new ones I like to have look; some of them are gorgeous.
One I saw this morning was a beautiful sunrise so went closer & it had just been done with a big paintbrush like one used for house painting & close up you can see that but it doesn't detract from the painting. I'd expected it to have been spray paint,at least when colours were merged so interesting to see how good it looked.
There was a lovely one there a while back,a sort of scene from a magical forest but some miserable sod nicked it. Which must have been difficult, it was fairly heavy & well attached to the posts.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
