Believe it or not, this is the Japanese building drain. It's really a step up from the clunky American metal ones.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption
We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

I had figured it to be a fountain of sorts and was still imagining the dynamics of the process when I read your narrative! Love to see this in action.

Cool! I thought it was either a fountain or a wall decoration! Very interesting drain there, and a very excellent shot!

How people can construct functional art!! And such a beautiful photograph reminding of upside down chimes.

Good shot. Yes, aren't these cool?! I am forever wondering how to get a good shot of them, but you succeeded here with an interesting angle.
