I love public water fountains on a hot summer day. They are so refreshing to look at and to get that occasional spritz when the wind changes directions. Post pictures of some of your favorite public fountains. We can discuss the architectural merit of each one if u want. I'll start things off.

Not my favorite, but my most visited fountain. I used to live right around the corner from Loring Park in Mpls which holds this lovely fountain:

None of these water fountains can touch the bellagio casino in las vegas. Thats water show fountain is the best. That fountain shoots way in the air. Only people who been t oVegas and saw this knows what i am talking about.

I need to pee.....

Thats a cool design, the sphere.

I found some more Detrioit ones that I really like.
