Halifax Public Gardens, Spring Garden, Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Victoria Jubilee Fountain, with Griffin's Pond in the background. Inaugurated in celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, the fountain sees the nymph Egeria standing atop a basin supported by a stout Corinthian column, surrounded by four babies each mounted atop a sea serpent. Like much of the Public Gardens, the Jubilee Fountain has been the beneficiary of a great deal of improvements recently. Hurricane Juan, which badly damaged the Gardens in 2003, was the catalyst: it spurred the establishment of the Public Gardens Foundation, which raised $1 million in its first 48 hours of existence and went on to be a massive financial boon to the Gardens, much of whose infrastructure hadn't been updated in over a century. Thanks to the Foundation, in 2012 the fountain was restored top-to-bottom and received a new eco-friendly pumping system; as well, a new roof was put on the bandstand the year before. Jardins publics d'Halifax, Spring Garden, Halifax, Nouvelle-Écosse. La Fontaine du jubilé de Victoria, avec l'étang Griffin en arrière-plan. Inauguré à l'occasion du Jubilé de diamante de la reine Victoria en 1897, la fontaine comprend la nymphe Égérie, debout au sommet d'une cuvette soutenue par une columne corinthienne trapue, entourée de quatre bébés montés chacun sur serpents de mer. Comme la plupart des Jardins publics, la Fontaine du jubilé a été le bénéficiaire de beaucoup d'améliorations récemment. L'ouragan Juan, qui a endommagé gravement les Jardins en 2003, a été le catalyseur: il a suscité la création de la «Public Gardens Foundation» (Fondation des Jardins publics), qui a récolté un million de dollars pendant ses premières 48 heures d'existence et a continué à être une grande aubaine financière pour les Jardins, dont beaucoup des infrastructures n'avaient pas été mis à jour depuis plus d'un siècle. Grâce à la Foundation, en 2012 la fontaine a été restaurée de haut en bas et a reçu un nouvel système de pompage écologique; aucsi, un nouveau toit a été placé sur le kiosque à musique l'an précédent. Jardines Públicos de Halifax, Spring Garden, Halifax, Nueva Escocia. La Fuente del Jubileo de Victoria, con la Charca de Griffin en el fondo. Inaugurado para celebrar el Jubileo de Diamante de la Reina Victoria en 1897, la fuente cuenta con la ninfa Egeria, de pie encima de una pileta que se apoya por una columna corintia robusta, y que se rodea por cuatro bebés montados cada uno en serpientes marinas. Como una gran parte de los Jardines Públicos, la Fuente del Jubileo ha sido el beneficiario de muchas mejoras recientemente. El Huracán Juan, que dañó los Jardines gravemente en 2003, fue el catalizador: impulsó la creación de la "Public Gardens Foundation" (Fundación de los Jardines Públicos), que recaudó $ 1 millón durante sus primeras 48 horas de existencia y pasó a ser una enorme ayuda financiera a los Jardines, una gran parte de cuya infraestructura no se había actualizado desde hace más que un siglo. Gracias a la Foundation, en 2012 la fuente se restauró de arriba a abajo y recibió un nuevo sistema de bombeo ecológico; así, un nuevo techo se colocó al quiosco de música el año anterior. |
