The Beginning
Four nicely-sculpted children ring the stem of the basin above, but they tend not to get noticed because of the big angel on top.
The four figures below her signify Peace, Health, Purity, and Temperance. (from Ask Professor Ginko: The Fountains of New York)
The water in the pool below is green like that of the lake behind (2-jpg) -- we wonder what determines water color, having encountered many shades in the course of this series. Does the lake supply the fountain? They are at virtually the same level as one discovers when going to the terrace edge -- there are no steps between you and the lake.

This page requires a 6.0+ browser for the pictures/text to display correctly. If you have an older version of Netscape, Explorer, or AOL, the text will appear cut off and the pictures distorted.
Site Tips: If you have Explorer or AOL (recent version), and a mouse with a scroll wheel, you should be able to move the mouse anywhere over the text at right and scroll it with the wheel, so you can still see the picture while reading.
Most of the pages have a large version of the main picture which you can make your wallpaper by first clicking on it to download, then right-clicking and choosing "Set as Background".
