Photographer’s Note

Fountain Hills PArk @ Fountain Hills Arizona - where the world's 2nd tallest Fountain is standing and still operating (since its first operation in 1971 -the fountain was built in 1971 by Robert P. McCulloch). The plume of water rises from a concrete water-lily sculpture in the center of a large man-made lake and is driven by three 600-horsepower pumps. When all three pumps are on under zero wind condition, the fountain can reach over 560 feet in height.One caution though - Don't sit in the mist. The Fountain and lake are part of the water treatment system.
