Thank you, Ann, for your comment. The fountain is located on Prospect Ave near Hard Rock Cafe. I believe "La Jolla" ("A Pearl") is the name of this fountain too. Unfortunately I never had a chance to stop by it with my camera during daylight time.

Neat image Bbzippo. I'd love to see this one in person. It would be a kick to turn the huge stone on the water. Where is it in La Jolla? Ann C

Thank you for your comment, MFC. This is the first time I dare to present my pictures for public judgement. So any comments are really valuable for me.
Regarding the fountain: the stone sphere (weighting about a ton I suppose) in fact floats on the stream of water, you can even rotate it with your hands. Unfortunatelly, it's impossible to tell this by the picture.

It's really interesting how the sphere interrupts the flow of water causing it to "encircle" up around the base. Neat how you captured that. Thanks for your images. MFC
