Welcome to the Vancouver Fountain (pool, pond, water art installation) website

I confess.  I am a 'fountain spotter'.  Exciting hobby eh?   Anyways, somehow, I've apparently become terribly fascinated with the fountains, pools, ponds, and water art installations in Vancouver. Maybe you will too after viewing this site.  

There are so many of them. Once you have fountains on your mind, you will realize that they are everywhere in Vancouver.  I have about 80 on the site so far, and at least another 80 on my list yet to be photographed.  Over the past years, almost every week, I notice new fountains, pools, ponds, or water art installations.  I've no doubt that there are many fountains still waiting for me to discover (never mind the new ones being built!). I make reminders to myself to revisit the new ones so I can photograph them and show them to you, but I have a life to live other than photographing fountains too : )

Aside from more photos of fountains, I have other plans for this site which include the following (though who knows when I might actually get to them):

• Including video of fountains (and pools, ponds and water art) up onto this website;
• Adding a variety of other information to accompany each fountain eg dimensions, how much water it uses, design considerations, when it was built, who built it (see next item), who takes care of it, etc;
• Finally, one day, I might start approaching the people who design and build these things so that they can tell us more about them. How much do they cost? How much maintenance is required? Why did the architect build the fountain like she did? Inquiring minds want to know; I know I do. If, chance, a fountain, pond, pool or water art designer, builder or promoter is reading this, uh, well, maybe you can add something to this madness, or not.

To sum up, add this site to your favourites and keep coming back to see any new fountains as they are added (see my 'to do' list).  Also, from time to time, the FountainBlog is updated too!   But most importantly, please take some time to go see Vancouver's fountains for yourself!
