Fountains of Peace - Music in Reflection

Having passed its way of evolution from the source to the element of the architectural ensemble, the fountain has acquired the status of a high-tech mechanism. It can have different styles and sizes, be static and dynamic. But the real masterpiece of engineering and weightless art became color-dynamic fountains, combining classics and modernity.

Their popularity is incredibly great; they gather around them crowds of grateful spectators, like Anatoly Kashpirovsky. This is an incredibly beautiful spectacle, and if not under your favorite tune...
