The Gilman Fountain, originally titled Water Forms II, was designed by Sculptor and professor George Baker and was built as a class project in 1979. I've always found this a mesmerizing piece of art. I can sit and watch it as it slowly changes shape, and listen to the sounds also change as the pieces are hit and moved by the water. It is very photogenic, and has been featured in many photographs and at least one movie Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) where it stood in for the planet Vulcan!
