akron area fountains - part 1

It's summer time, and nothing says summer more to me than fountains. They are like a refreshing oasis in a hot and dry cityscape. Today is the first in my series of fountains in the greater Akron area. Greg and I went in search of fountains today and came across about half a dozen in just one afternoon. Throughout the summer I'll share my photos of these fountains. If you know of fountains in the area, please leave a comment on the blog so that I can include them.
The first fountain is my favorite in the area. It sits in front of the E.J. Thomas Perfoming Arts Hall on The University of Akron's campus. It's a simple and perfectly round fountain. And larger than you might expect from the photo. You can't see it in this photo, but we saw a red apple floating in the fountain this afternoon. I guess there are worse things that could be floating in there.
