Before all the trees are bare and Cincinnati turns a relentless shade of gray, make sure you take time to stroll through Burnet Woods and around the fountain plaza in Clifton.
It's difficult to find a lot of information about this beautiful fountain-- I stumbled upon an article from 2002 talking about construction of the fountain, and while it names both the garden and the surrounding plaza, the fountain is only described. This article goes on to call her "the new Clifton fountain" and "the best semi-naked woman in public," and as of yet I haven't found anything that gives her a name. A shame, isn't it?
I hadn't realized the fountain was that new-- only seven years old? Shows how much time I used to spend in Clifton. Now I can't imagine walking to the Esquire without seeing her.

When I came to Cincinnati for the first time in 2004 for a job interview, this Fountain was one of the first things I took a picture of. I thought it had been there forever.
It beat me to Cincinnati, so in a way, I guess it has been.
Thank you for your comment!
She's beautiful, isn't she? This is actually the first place that Dan and I smooched. Ewwwwww.
;-P TMI!
LOL
5 years hardly counts as forever
I don't know the name of this fountain, but I do know that it was designed by Matt Kotlarczyk of Refined Sugar Studio. You can see some of Matt's lighting at Switch in OTR.
I'm beginning to think the thing doesn't HAVE a name.
I'll have to check out Switch!
