Water Features - A Photo Thread
This thread is dedicated to photos of water features, including walls, cascades, fountains, troughs, and reflecting pools. Natural bodies of water or natural-appearing ones like ponds and lakes and waterfronts and seashores are probably best left to a different thread.
It is an additive thread so feel free to post your own photos or others found on the web! It will probably be appreciated if posts clearly label what and where the water feature is. |

Great thread.
I'm surprised that Miami doesn't have more fountains considering that it's always warm. Same with New Orleans and Charleston. Few cities outside old, northern ones like NY, Philly, Boston, KC, and Chicago seem to have great old sculpted ones like one finds in Europe. Apart from cities with old classic fountains, the cities with the most and best water features seem to be: Las Vegas NY KC Chicago Philly DC Houston Seattle Portland Indy Pittsburgh Cincy St. Louis Atlanta Charlotte Savannah LA |

No thread about fountains would be complete without these beauties.

My favorite fountain is the Dog Fountain at Berczy Park in Toronto. Notice the bone at the top of the fountain and be sure to look for the cat! This is awesome and is on a list of things I wish was in the city I post on. This park is worth visiting, the next time you're in Toronto, to see this fountain.

I'm sure it will appear on the lists after this post! I've heard the videos don't always work. Try to watch the video of this fountain and park, using the Video Link: |

The dog fountain is cool. I forgot about our friends next door when I compiled the list of European-style fountains, but Quebec City, which is like a bit of Europe in N America, has a gorgeous one.

Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park in Houston. Favorite spot for wedding photographers and the occasional Bollywood musical number.
