This hypnotic water fountain was designed by the British sculptor William Pye and is located in Sunderland, North England. In fountain “The Vortex Fountain” is a mild and soothing water stream replaced by a powerful water whirlpool. The illusion of standing water block is created using a transparent acrylic body. The water runs off the sides of the housing, while the vortex itself is formed by the use of strong changing currents.
that’s flipping AWESOME.
This is remarkable and beautiful – and not the sort of thing you might expect to find in Sunderland!
