I tried to snap this without getting a damned car in the background . . .
The J.C. Nichols Memorial Fountain is pretty much taken for granted by Kansas Citians, although if you look closely at its constituent elements it's actually pretty bizarre. Even disturbing, I suppose, if you're squeamish about writhing crocodiles, frantic horses, overgrown water-spewing fish, and naked sea-elves.
I thought the face on this easily missable sphinx was eerily lifelike . . .

Looks like a vicious kid whacking the crap out of some poor dolphin with a stick.
There's a somewhat macabre sensibility to this fountain.
