Fashion Show

Part water and part glass. One of the Garden of Glass artworks outside of the Climatron. The ephemeral figures appear to be walking down a fashion show runway into a riot of wet color.          

Cold Snap

The family had dinner Sunday night at one of our favorite restaurants, Nathalie's in the Central West End. The temperature had dropped to the low teens F (around -10 C). We entered the courtyard and found this fountain. It has a beautiful Belle Époque look (as does the restaurant's interior design) but someone forgot the water valve. Hope the pipes didn't burst.                          

And The Living Is Easy

It's a long way from summer in Citygarden to Catfish Row but everyone seemed relaxed and pleased at one of the fountains in Citygarden the other day. It's wonderful that they let children play in all of the garden's water features rather than shoo them away. In fact, I think this one is designed for kids.
                       

Beat The Heat

Holy bleepers, it got hot around here. One of the nice things about downtown is that the city lets anybody splash around in the fountains and pools of Kiener Plaza and Citygarden. Can you imagine that in the fountains of Trafalgar Square of the Trevi in Rome?
