Forbury Gardens, Reading
The Forbury Gardens in the English town of Reading. A lot of effort goes into the creation of colourful floral displays in the gardens. Here polyanthuses provide a garish splash of colour in front of the Maiwand Lion, a memorial to lives lost during the Afghan Wars. The Forbury Hill, an artificial mound of unknown origin, can be seen to the left of the lion. – Andrew Smith, CC BY-SA 2.0 – Wikimedia Commons
