Millennium Park Fountain

This is a replica of one of the sculptures called the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park. Can you see the opposite end of the golf course?

This is the beginning of the golf course. Can you see all the way through both sculptures? You might be able to see the face, because I can.
This is a picture that is taken between two replica sculptures from the Millennium Park fountain. Can you see the ramps coming out of the sculptures? Doesn't it look like the water coming out of the real Crown fountain?

The importance of this landmark to Chicago is: This place is important because if people feel bad about something they could go to the Crown Fountain to just take their mind off of their troubles.
I think people should visit this landmark because: You should visit this place because its a nice quiet place to sit and relax and take your mind off of everything. You only hear the sound of water.
