Fountain of Faces!


 

The amazing Crown Fountain can be found only in the windy city of Chicago, Illinois USA.   It's a interactive video sculpture and one of a kind.  It opened in 2004 and is composed of a black granite reflecting pools placed between a pair of glass brick towers.  The 50 ft. towers use LED lights to display digital images of various faces and scenery.  Water spouts out of the mouths seen on the faces.   The fountain is only open from May to Oct as winters are pretty rough in Chicago.  The fountain is loved by locals and critics alike for it's artistic and entertainment features.   It' is interactive and both children and adults can be found frolicking in it's waters.  The fountain also displays faces of local Chicagoans who are visiting the fountain :).   What can anyone say about this place but "WOW"!
