I love night photography, I shot these last night on 9-11-2010 in Philadelphia at Logan Circle. There is some thing about late at night which is magical, they shut the foundations down at midnight.

The Swann Memorial Fountain (also known as theFountain of the Three Rivers) is a fountain sculpture located in the center of Logan Circle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,United States.
The fountain, by Alexander Stirling Calder designed with architect Wilson Eyre, memorializes Dr. Wilson Cary Swann, founder of the Philadelphia Fountain Society. The Society had been planning a memorial fountain in honor of its late president and founder. After agreeing that the fountain would become city property, the society was granted the site in the center of Logan Circle.

Great shots! I love the way the figures in the fountain look, like they are smooth and wet. I always though this was the Swan fountain, until I worked in Philly and then I learned it was the Swann Memorial fountain and named after a person with two n’s and not the bird. Anyway, beautiful work. :)
Thanks everybody for the nice comments
Your pictures are fabulous! The statues look like the are carved out of Jade!!!
I updated the images to correct the while balance and add the information about the fountains which I did’t know are called the Swann Memorial fountains. Thank for visiting and commenting.
