Splashing band

I met up with fellow Blipper KarenC today, it was really nice meeting her in person. It's kind of sad that we've only met now as she's leaving Belgium quite soon. We met in Tervuren , had lunch in 'het Bootjeshuis' at the big pond and then went for a short stroll through the grounds of the Africa Museum. This band of African animals is quite a sight, I know several Belgian based Blippers have blipped this fountain before, but today they were really splashing and that's good on such a hot day ! :-)

The sculptures are a work by artist Tom Frantzen:

Here's what his website says about this fountain, which is situated on a roundabout:

The Bandundu Water Jazz Band

(2005, Tervuren)

Tom Frantzen used the roundabout as a starting point to a play of circles, in which motorists take part.
The fountain is meant to represent Tervuren and to welcome visitors and passers-by. The sculptor got inspiration from African water animals on display in the museum, and staged them as a jazz band.
The successive circles of lawn, water and concrete represent the park of Tervuren. These circles have a similar structure to the leaves of a waterlilies and are also evocative of spinning vinyl records. The water jets create a choreography of chaotic semi-circles.
