The fountain inside IDS Center is a 105 foot free fall of water – like rain coming out of the ceiling. I love the visible “splat” of the drops as they flatten and bounce. Turns out, they may actually splash before they hit the surface…

This pool, at the base of a fountain, is in constant motion. But, frozen in the midst of its swirling, churning movement, the surface looks almost like bubble glass with shimmering bits of light caught in a sea of aquamarine.

This fountain in TCF Tower appeared a bit neglected at first glance. A closer look revealed the mercurial shimmer of the water droplets dancing in the golden light.
