Where in the World is TravelGumbo, #60

 WITW 60

 

Gumbo is off again and today he sees this unusual sight.  An attractive fountain, but what's doing here?  Seems to be in the middle of a forest, or is it?  Could there a building of interest nearby?

Hmmm, I thought Scotland, Ireland...definitely NOT in a forest; trees too spaced, road too visible. In a park, perhaps?

 

How clever of the puzzlemaster to find a picture with the flag furled to prevent an easy guess...

Aha! This one had me because it looked so familiar, but I couldn't place. Yosemite, Sequoia, King National Parks? The fountain must have been turned off the day I was there 3 years ago, because I didn't notice it. Busy sipping tea in the lobby and on the verandah, watching children Easter egg hunt? And yes there is a tennis court on the property along with a swimming pool. It's in the circle in front of the Wawona Hotel south of Yosemite. After a stop there, I had a nice walk in the meadow along the golf course.

After a busy day at the Vail Jazz Festival yesterday, I was surprised this morning to log on and see that this puzzle is already solved.  Lynn Millar, you are correct, this is the fountain in front of the Wawona Hotel in Yosemite National Park.  I'll have a discussion of the Wawona tomorrow.  PHeymont will have a new puzzle for you tomorrow as well!
