On warm summer days, the park service turns on the Uncle Wilber Fountain in Acacia Park in downtown Colorado Springs. Children play while their parents watch from the sidelines.

Looks like fun. Wet, cool fun.

FYI, when I go to the higher resolution version, I get only the top inch or so of the photo in both Safari and Firefox. I don't know if it's something on my end or yours.

Thanks for letting me know. The large version did not upload completely. I seem to have beaten it into shape, now.

Yep, all's well now. And, yes, the larger photo is well worth looking at.

I'd be very tempted to play with the kids.

This reminds me of the Seattle Center fountain -- http://www.world-guides.com/images/seattle/seattle_center_fountain.jpg

Every good-sized city should have something similar, IMHO.
