Another Fountain Video

I was scouring Youtube again and found this really cool video by SAI Fountains. I actually had showcased some of these fountains and had no idea they were made by the same company!

Swarovski Face Fountain

What girl doesn’t love Swarovski crystals? It was during my search for some new jewelry that I discovered a really cool, but frankly bizarre looking fountain that creates the entrance for the crystal themed indoor park, Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal Worlds).

This huge fountain is built into the hillside of Austria creating a tribal looking face that spurts water from its mouth. The eyes of the face are made from unblinking crystals that light up at night.

The pictures of this fountain are absolutely fascinating as it appears that the fountain is a natural part of the hillside.

Forsyth Park Fountain – Savannah Ga

I don’t know if I mentioned that I stopped in Savannah, Ga on my way back to Jacksonville from my trip a couple weeks ago, but I did. And like I mentioned in my very first post, I absolutely love Savannah and all the history there.

One of the most interesting things about this city is that it is apparently haunted. While I was there I asked a local tour guide if he knew about any haunted fountains. (I couldn’t help myself.) Below is the story he told me about the famous Forsyth Park Fountain.

Aaron and Lois Churchill were happily married and lived in what is now Forsyth Park Inn. They brought home a little girl name Lottie one night. Life was perfect for all three of them. One day when Lottie caught her sister Anna in the romantic embraces of her adopted father. Lottie decided that the best solution to the problem was to poison her sister, which she did.

Anna turned out to actually be her mother. When she was told that she had killed her mother Lottie went insane. She was committed from that moment on. The ghost of Lottie is not vengeful and instead is said to have a childlike spirit. The spirit of what she could have been and when she was most happy. Child’s laughter and footsteps are reported most often. She has been seen on the staircase and has been felt by the fountain in which she had watched her poisoned sister die.

Big Springs Park, AL

Big Spring Park is named after the original water source that the city of Huntsville was built around. The Big Spring was an underground karst spring that was discovered by the Cherokee and Chickasaw in that area.

Today the park is situated in downtown Huntsville, and features a beautiful fountain that has been ingeniously worked into the park’s canal. This fountain keeps in line with the history and importance of the Huntsville area, and I really enjoyed seeing it. I thought the design of this fountain was so cool and original. I haven’t really seen anything like it before. The picture below doesn’t really even capture how perfectly this fountain fits in with the rest of the park.
