68 Sep 20 Comment I never heard of the phone but that is an interesting background story. The petals in areas are over exposed and hot. I find it interesting to look into the spaces between the petals and the upper left petal shows nice detail with the back lighting. Sep 28th
68 Sep 20 Comment Nice layering from front to back. The fire draws the eye through the picture with several interesting things to view. They all have shapes that lend nicely to the 3D effect. Sep 28th
68 Sep 20 Reply When I was there for my picture, this southern wall was not operating. Your's is a much better image. Sep 28th
68 Sep 20 Reply In response to your questions, I researched for details because I was curious too. This is called the Crown Fountain in Millennial Park. It is described as a whimsical public art/video sculpture designed by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa. It is a modern take of old fountains with mythological gods spouting water out of their mouths. The reflecting pool is black granite positioned between a pair of 50-foot glass brick towers using LEDs to display digital videos of faces of 1,000 Chicago locals. The towers are 16 feet deep and 23 feet wide.
The wall is still quite bright during the day...like the electronic billboards along the Interstates. I think the water appears orange just because of the saturated colored lights behind the water, and to me, twilight enhanced the colors, brightness, and the reflection. The faces change and are expressive. When the lips pucker up, the people below know the water is going to project out and get ready to get wet.		 Sep 7th
