Water fountains come in all shapes and
sizes. The beauty of water
rising, tumbling, spilling and jetting into the air is truly an
inspirational, soothing and relaxing experience.

Vista, Florida

after the firework show.
The Singing Fountain, Czech Republic
Singing Fountain in Czech spa town
Marianske Lazne is one of the most popular creations of master artist
Pavel Miksik. It is a complex sound-water-light piece which provides
daily concerts.
The fountain contains 10 water jet systems with
more than 250 water jets. The water gushes from the water jet in the
center up to a height of 6 meters.
Opening music piece is a song
by the Czech composer Petr Hapka followed by works from Chopin,
Mozart, Bach, Gounod, Smetana, Dvorak and others.
Hydraulophones, Ontario
Well this would be very small in terms
of size to any of the fountains mentioned in the list, but it’s
equally musical and entertaining. The
fountain at Ontario Science Center also called a hydraulophone is a
center of attraction for visitors. Anyone walking into the center can
play it. Blocking the flow of any one of the 57 water jets in the
fountain forces the water across to a corresponding organ pipe, where
it makes a loud sound as the water is forced out through the speaking
mouth of the pipe.
