Powerful jets of water erupt from the top tier, creating a dramatic shimmering curtain that falls into the large basin below. In the background, zoo visitors are visible behind a decorative stone balustrade, while the surrounding lush green trees highlight the park’s summer beauty. This high-resolution scan captures the fine textures of the bronze and the dynamic motion of the water, preserving a classic piece of Michigan’s public art and recreational history.
