This water element is quite a treat for the senses. It starts off with a large cone that is 35 feet in diameter and 14 feet high. Water spills from the top and all around the cone, then flows through a trough, which has brass forms in it that people can turn to create different turbulent effects. From the trough, the water spills into a texture pool where the rippling water becomes a calmer trickle and ends at a smooth and serene reflecting pond. The total effect is reminiscent of snow melting off a mountain and flowing down into the valley.
