Fountain At The Dorothy Chandler

My Water Post For Today.

It has been around since the 60's, bringing joy to patrons of the arts.

The fountain surrounds a statue called Peace on Earth. Sometimes blocking the work totally, with walls of water.

Thankfully, you can sometimes come closer to it, when it keeps the water level low. It also has quads that do not have water, so even when the level is high, you can get a little closer.

It is quite amazing, in that it frames, not only the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and The Mark Taper Forum, but the DWP Building across the street (which is the building in the back of this photo).

Well worth the money spent, in my humble opinion.

I hope you enjoy.

  1. Yes I do like the Fountain. I guess the Water Post does not have to be only lakes, streams, and oceans, it can be a simple fountain. :-)
