The fountain in the Piazza Colonna is a fountain in Rome, Italy, designed by the architect Giacomo Della Porta and constructed by the Fiesole sculptor Rocco Rossi between 1575 and 1577.
The fountain was one of a group of sixteen fountains built by Della Porta following the reconstruction of the Acqua Vergine aqueduct, a project begun by Pope Pius IV in 1561 and finished by Pope Pius V in 1570. The fountain itself was built under Pope Gregory XIII, best known for creating the Gregorian calendar. Like the other Roman fountains of its time, it was built to provide clean drinking water to the Roman residents, who before then had to drink the polluted water of the Tiber River. Also like the other fountains of its time, it operated purely by gravity; the source of the water was higher the fountain itself, causing the water to spout into the air.
The water for the fountain first arrived at the old Trevi Fountain, then went two reservoirs at the foot of the butte of San Sebastiancello, then through a series of the channels to the corner of via Condotti and the via del Corso, to Piazza Venezia, to the foot of the column of Marcus Aurelius. The source of the water for the fountain of Piazza Colonna was only 67 feet above sea level; like the Trevi Fountain, the Fontana della Barcaccia, and the fountains of Piazza Navona, all connected to the Acqua Vergine, the fountain of Piazza Colonna was unable to jet water high into the air

While at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (zoo and botanical garden) I was amazed to see how these bighorn sheep can maneuver over these steep rock walls seemingly defying the force of gravity.

Honestly, I feel that not many people recongnize this show, but it turns out that there are many people who watch it. I added some of my friends who watch it. I would like to see some customs of the characters from Gravity Falls, if you seem up for this challenge. Also, go out and try to find some of the secrets of GF too. Did you know that at the end of the theme song, that the voice whispers "I'm (or I am) still here"?
To make this Photo i switched gravity off.
This is real.
Photoshop was only used to change the colors a bit. (it was pretty red)
I taped the Shoe to the ceiling and turned the photo around ;)
A walk trough an tunel filled with beautiful art of gravity. I liked this one a lot. What else to say, enjoy. :)
The physics professors decided to replicate Newton's gravity experiments by dropping lots and lots of fruit off the roof
Paragliding high above the turkish coast. Bit of a cowboy outfit but oh so fun. Amazingly allowed to take camera's up with us. Unbelievable.
The constant erosion of the dunes along Lake Michigan create slides of all sizes, as the sand succumbs to gravity.

A Herzog MPM rests at Gravity Yard. The day before it worked the Stoney Fork Branch, picking up ties that have been laid next to the tracks for a long time.
