Fun At The Fountain
Temperatures were relatively cool just before sunset last week at Chicago's Millennium Park. But that didn't deter this little guy, who got himself thoroughly soaked while playing in a Crown Fountain water spout.
Designed by artist Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain consists of two 50-foot-tall glass brick towers, one of which is shown here, with a black granite reflecting pool in between. Light-emitting diodes on the inward side of the towers display videos of the faces of local residents. Water not only cascades down the sides of the towers, but also periodically appears to shoot out from the puckered lips of the video subjects.
