crown fountain

I have a ton of pictures from our recent trip to Chicago and Wisconsin that I finally started to go through. This is Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, Chicago. It was created by Spanish sculptor, Jaume Plensa.

The fountain has a video projection system that displays several different faces. Every 12 minutes the face puckers up and spits out a stream of water. It was really Great to watch!

I shot the beginning and end of the cycle using rapid-fire mode on my camera. I’ve put them together in sequence, in a short QuickTime movie.
