| Title | Crown Fountain, pedestal, May 27, 2004 |
| Description | A close up of a screw-jack pedestal holding up two of the black, African tiles that form the surface of Crown Fountain's reflecting pool. Great care was taken by workers when installing these tiles because as well as each tile having to be absolutely level, the seams between each tile had to be at exactly the same height to prevent injuries as people, particularly small children, run barefoot across the pool. |
