The Swann Memorial Fountain [Alexander Stirling Calder, 1924] is in the middle of Logan Circle. It consists of three large pieces [nude native Americans, I think, in reclining poses] representing the Delaware, the Schuylkill and the Wissahickon Rivers, plus a number of frogs and turtles. The fountain is on during the summer and is visible from both ends of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia PA.
My photo of this fountain/sculpture was taken very early in the morning, so the fountain was not 'on' which gave it a wonderful reflective quality. Check the 'philart.net/' link below to see the fountain 'on'.
