Here is a closer look at the sun fountain

An interesting tidbit about all of the fountains at Peterhoff is that the water for them comes from a lake about 2 miles away. It was carried to Peterhoff using wooden pipes and gravity; the wooden pipes have since been replaced but the water still uses only gravity to get to the fountains.

Those wacky Russians.
