I'm not a fan of water features. There is something about them that always leaves me a little disappointed. I especially dislike ones that have water sounds. No gurgling fountain or babbling man-made brook in my yard, thanks.Trust Quebec City to come up with one that I love, a figurehead fountain. It is located just a couple blocks from our hotel at Place de la FAO - FAO being the Food and Agriculture Organization founded here in 1945. The water doesn't even spray. It just bubbles out, flows down and disappears.
This says La Vivrière and shows the three artists' names. The date, 1995, marks the 50th anniversary of the organization.
Now they take this wave design and run it right across the street! Who would think of that? I wonder how they did the brickwork.Bravo, Quebec City.
