This fountain toward the north end of the Capitol Mall park, north of the Capitol also appears to be a good place for cooling off, though it looks like it could do some real damage to a human body.*
According to the Oregon State University library website, a national competition, made possible by a bequest from former Oregon Governor Charles Sprague (1939-43), was won by Weltzin Blix. His sculpture is 85' long by 20' high of welded bronze weighing 15,000 lbs. It was completed in 1980. Mr. Blix was a teacher of sculpture, ceramics and drawing at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon until his retirement in 2002.
*Edit: I was not aware of it at the time, but actually, this is a prohibited activity.
Oregon Administrative Rule 125-075-0005 Use of the Capitol Mall Area Parks and Grounds states:
- ..."(c) For the purposes of City Code 94.110, no bathing, wading or swimming shall be allowed in fountains, water displays or systems, with the exception of the Wall of Water Fountain on the Capitol Mall Plaza, in front of the Capitol Building, where wading is allowed; "...

What a beautiful fountain!!
We were in Salem once...Do you have a Sybil's 101 Omlette's~~~? Or do I have the wrong town.
Riau: I edited the post to include the rule that prohibits swimming in this fountain.
Wanda: Yes!! We have Sybil's Omlettes! And if you don't see any you like they will make one to order. How interesting that you were in Salem.
Fountain are good to watch always...
It sure doesn't look like you would want to swim there, UNLESS, you're a kid :)
You've got it crisply captured and composed. I can see how it might attract the unwise.
I can see how that would be tempting during hot days!
Do you mind if I link to this photo from my blog? It's very green at this point but I hope to add some more features in the coming weeks.
I'm also considering adding you to my blogroll. Let me know if you're not OK with either of those things.
Thanks!
Shalom: both are fine with me.
Here we cant do it either! I wonder why...its so fun!
I am so envious! Water fountains here in Manila are off limits to children. But I guess parks and establishments don't have much of a choice. We have too many poor, they're liable to use the fountains as bathing areas. =(

I am the sort of guy who loves to try unused stuff. Presently I'm building my hold solar panels. I am doing it all alone without the assistance of my men. I'm utilizing the internet as the only way to acheive this. I encountered a very awesome website that explains how to contruct pv panels and so on. The internet site explains all the steps involved in building photovoltaic panels.
I am not exactly sure bout how accurate the data given there is. If some guys over here who had experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the site it will be awesome and I would really treasure it, because I truly enjoy solar panel construction.
Thanks for reading this. U people are great.
