This photograph shows the very imaginative "Rising Universe" monument in the Bishopric, Horsham, West Sussex. It is also known as the Shelley Fountain in celebration of the famous poet who was born in the town. It also has various other names which will not be reproduced here as they might offend more delicate readers!
The sphere moves up and down the pole and discharges water at its base. I really like this as it was installed in the 1990s before the current craze for water features began and because it actually does something rather than being just a static object.
Horsham is known for being a very conservative town so the Council is to be congratulated for commissioning such a radical piece of art.
