Wren, that is one splashy fountain and it sure looks nice and cool on a hot day like today was!

I haven’t been to Detroit Zoo, but I used to visit the city when I was a student in Windsor in the 1970s.

Good one.

That looks as though it could have been a very windy day when you took that shot. Such a lot of water tumbling every which way. Love itr!!

Wren August 14, 2010 at 4:28 pm

I don’t remember it being windy, but I was focused on the fountain & the animals at the zoo. Short of being blown over, I wouldn’t have been distracted enough to notice the weather.

Feels refreshing, looks like a beautiful day Wren!

Beautifull fountain, Wren! Happy skywatching!

I love the fountain and like Carver, I can almost feel the spray! Perfect against the lovely summer skies! Wonderful post for the day! Hope you have a great weekend!

I have only been at SF Zoo and as far as I can remember there is no fountain there. I thought that a fountain adds to the charm of a zoo.

Happy weekend.

Wren August 14, 2010 at 4:25 pm

I don’t remember a fountain at the SF Zoo, either, Ewok, but I do remember a great time hand feeding the Lorikeets. It was the first time I got to do that.

I can feel the spray on my face. And is that a blue sky behind the fountain?

Wren August 14, 2010 at 4:24 pm

It was a blue sky, even though it was getting later in the day when we were there.

Carver August 12, 2010 at 2:39 pm

Fantastic capture of the water rushing from the fountain. I can almost feel the spray in my face looking at it.

Very odd looking fountain. Of what is it a sculpture?

Wren August 14, 2010 at 4:24 pm

It’s impossible to see in this photo, but there are two bears flanking the fountain column. They’re made of bronze and are approximately 10 feet tall. Here’s a link to more about them: http://bit.ly/diStOk
