Meant to post this last night but fell into a black slumber e’en as I reached for keyboard.
What was formerly the Capitol Hill reservoir is about to become Cal Anderson Park. A late night stroll revealed a suspiciously climbable – but still dry – fountain.
A field of cobblestones will accept the outbound flow from the fountain’s hill.
The sluice toward the cobblestones includes some interesting details, including this dark and mysterious entrance to what must be considered a sort of barrow.
The fountain’s cobblestone-clad hill is too easy to climb, but, I must say, deceptively difficult to descend.
Especially if one has consumed one or two products of the brewer’s art.
The dark and mysterious barrow might be a visual homage to what used to occur in the bushes surrounding the resevoir.
