A 150' water jet shoots from the center of the Clarence F. Buckingham Memorial Fountain in Grant Park, Thursday, Oct. 16, 2014, in Chicago. The iconic fountain, one of the largest in the world, was dedicated and opened to the public in 1927. While in operation, every hour on the hour for 20 minutes, the Fountain produces a major water display which at dusk, is accompanied by a major light display.
