St L and Portland have some nice water features

The Pegasus Fountain just north of Miami in Hallandale/Aventura. It's a monumental, Las Vegas-style fountain. I believe that it's the third tallest sculpture in the U.S.

Awesome! This is near the Children's Museum? I do not think it was there when I visited in 2012, it might have been under construction at that time. It has a similarity to a couple of other vapor-emitting features I have seen:
