I've passed this fountain many times and never really took much notice other than I "kind of liked it" as I drove by. On closer inspection to photograph it for this waymark, I found the sculpture to be very detailed and graceful. The fountain made a gentle trickling sound and spritzed in the breeze on that hot day. The whole experience was very calming.
There is parking nearby. This fountain is in the center of a round-about but there is a sidewalk around it. Take care to watch for traffic if you approach the fountain.
