A dribble, a trickle
Or metres into the air
Fountains bubble and spurt
whether modern or ancient
They entice, calming savage minds.

What fabulous photos – you did great job, Irene. I love water, the sight of it, the way it feels and sounds, even frozen!
Oddly, I’m a terrible swimmer.

I’m a piscean and also love water. Probably you grew up somewhere you didn’t need to swim – hang on weren’t you in Hawaii. Never mind you can feel it without swimming.

5th photo down – when were you in Solothurn? I have been living here for the past 47 years, although the past 20 years just along the road in the village of Feldbrunnen. The fountain is in the main square – cannot remember the name, we have 11 fountains but my youngest son (now 41 years old) remembers it well as it is the fountain where the students have their christening session for their student name. Sometime in the evening the students march to the fountain with the victim dressed in bathing trunks and he is thrown in with ceremony and everything. Thanks for the photo, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it.

We were there in 2006. My brother lives in Geneva so we go to Switzerland fairly regularly although we haven’t been for awhile. My sister in law lives in Germany and the route we took from Geneva to her took us through Solothurn. I’m glad you wrote because to be truthful although I knew what trip it was on and that it was in Switzerland I didn’t remember what town I took it in. The Swiss seem to have ceremonies for many things. I can imagine your surprise when you saw it.

It certainly did surprise me as I really never expected it. The funny thing is I almost posted a photo of it myself, but decided to avoid the fountains of Solothurn as there are so many. By train Solothurn lays on the direct line between Zürich and Geneva, so you would pass through our town.

It is great isn’t it. It almost looks like it was taken underwater but it was just a fountain in Sydney Botanical Gardens.

Now that you say that, I can easily see it but didn’t at first. Too mesmerized? 😉 Perhaps. It’s gorgeous.
