Hey, my hometown. I was born there before the lake was there.

The drift of spray framing the building makes for a nice effect;.

Pretty spot, but there doesn't seem to be much interest for me in the subject or the composition.

It looks like the water shooting up and blowing away in combination with the rainbow forms a sail... an oversized, translucent sail...

Not bad for a 34-year old fountain! April 25, 1970 was the inauguration of the 140 meter Captain Cook Memorial squirter. (not bad for a Yank, issit?)

Great colors - the rainbow adds a great touch. The receding shoreline make you think the horizon isn't straight - but it also looks like the building slopes down to the left. Great composition to get the entire water spout.
