About This Piece
A depiction of the Rocky Mountain landscape, “Feature Fountain” is located in the Denver Botanic Gardens. It can be found in the south end of the park near the Scripture Gardens. The fifteen foot tall fountain was created with four plyons. Each pylon has a fountain which spills over 1000 gallons of water per minute into the water system. An Egyptian motif is consistent with the definition of a pylon in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “a massive gateway especially an Egyptian one flanked by flat topped pyramids.”
