PhotoHunt: Bright
Filed under Photohunt, art, human interest, travel, trivia
This is the Crown Fountain, a fountain of many colors in the Millennium Park of Chicago. The park boasts of one-of-a-kind art pieces, this fountain by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa among them.
The fountain changes colors every few seconds or so. Sometimes a face of a person or a collage of several faces appears on the LED screen. The structure is made of glass, built inside which are the lights that give it color. The sprinkles of water add to the bright effect. If I had brought a change of clothes, of if we had more time, I would have played under the fountain. 
I’m the girl in a blue-and-white striped jacket in the third and fourth photos. Photos were taken by Robert Haggard.
This is my entry for this week’s PhotoHunt.

Thanks for dropping by my place. You asked what my pix were of - it’s one of those lamps with 6 “arms” and each has a light with a colored cover. Our family room was fairly dark which caused them to appear even brighter.
Have a great week!
it was! i would have played with the water if we had stayed longer.
i thought so, but i wasn’t sure. the lights were so bright and pretty i thought those were disco lights.
That is SOOOOO cool!!!
it is. you should visit the park if you can.
