Five Rivers Fountain

The Five Rivers Fountain of Lights is created by five water jets housed in concrete towers and a powerful center geyser. The towers straddle the confluence of the Great Miami and Mad Rivers just east of the Riverside Bridge and shoot 2,500 gallons of water per minute toward the center of the river. The central geyser rises from the jets to a majestic 200’ in the air. Covering 395,000 square feet across an 800’ diameter, the Five Rivers Fountain of Lights is one of the largest fountains in the world. This amazing shot was captured by Lerxst Ohio.

Pulitzer Fountain

The sculpture at the top is a figure of Pamona, the goddess of abundance . She is mostly nude, except for a cloth draped across one leg. Her body position suggests movement, as her arms reach across her body, holding a large bowl of fruit. The twist of her body, along with the way in which her left leg steps forward and her eyes gaze towards the right, imply that she is in the process of turning. This photo was captured by
