Florida Holiday 2005 : Cypress Gardens

One of the many bits of 'topiary' at Cypress Gardens. Apparently, the gardens closed 2 years ago, but someone new bought it and has built an amusement park and is updating the rest of the place as we speak.... Howver, this didn't work out and they've closed the amusement bit!
More 'topiary'... Spot the ducks!
A waterfall..... obviously. One of the many features around the gardens.
Nice view..... One of many.
View towards the main lake. Apparently they used to film all those old films with Esther Williams and the water skiing stuff on the lake.
Part of the water ski show. In the background is what used to be known as the Kodak tower but has been renamed for the new owners (I forget what!). You sit on the platform and it revolves as it rises into the air.
The view from the top of the tower, across the main lake.
