Day 46 - Uncle Wilber's Fountain


This is Uncle Wilber's Fountain from Acacia park in Downtown Colorado Springs.
Since its opening in 2001, the whimsical Uncle Wilber Fountain has entertained thousands of kids (and lots of adults, too!) with its delightful sculpture, 52 vertical pop jets, over 200 unpredictable streams of water, dozens of colorful fiber-optic lights, danceable scores, and a water-themed riddle that, when the fountain is on, is accessible only to those willing to "take the plunge" and venture beneath the waterfall cascading from Wilber's sky-blue dome.

Day 27 - Heading Downtown



This is taken from our major highway I-25 heading south into the Downtown area. This is the bridge they just finished re paving and the buildings in the back are downtown Colorado Springs
