i’m really enjoying this thread. there is something very soothing about fountains and water, especially with summer coming on fast. and its sometimes less viewed areas of the cities.

I'd like to see this disassembled and then reassembled in downtown Detroit. It's one of the most beautiful fountains in the world.
