Fountain
Fountain causes me to think.
A fountain.
It almost looks like dancing the way they synchronize the jet streams. Pretty amazing. I love thinking about who thinks about the way things around you are. Who sits there at their 9-5 job designing the path the water will go? And how much water will pass through the pipes? And the fluctuation throughout the day. It would be interesting to find out if the fountain had a “peak period” of the day when it was making more elaborate functions than during other hours.
Also, fountains make for great metaphors. “Fountain of Youth” or “Fountain of Knowledge.” The idea of rising above the gravity that governs the world. Of course that is for natural springs which are way cooler and also don’t cost any electricity.
