The Centennial Fountain in Chicago

Posted 1 year ago by avatar charb in response to avatar fabienne's question: A water rainbow in Chicago? (give a different answer) .

Yeah, I guess you could call it that. It's actually a fountain, the Centennial Fountain on the River Esplanade that at certain moments of the day shoots a huge arc of water across the river - it lasts 10 minutes! From what I know it was aimed at commemorating the labour of those who redirected the flow of the Chicago river in 1900.
