Fountains of Kansas City
While I didn’t grow up in Kansas City, I’m happy to now call it home. Among its other charms, Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except Rome, Italy (more than 100) and is officially known as the City of Fountains.
It’s long been a dream of mine to visit and photograph all of the fountains in Kansas City. I’m setting up this page as a part of my site as I work toward that goal. As I am able to capture a fountain, I’ll link to the related blog post until I have worked my way through the entire list.

Wow! This is an impressive list! I was born in a city that also has fountains almost on every block (Almaty, Kazakhstan). I love fountains, they freshen up the city so nicely. Looking forward to your fountain shots!
Yulia
Thanks, Yulia! It’s been fun hunting them down and shooting the fountains! 🙂
Who’d have guessed it? Ain’t life grand when you learn something every day?:)
I hear it’s the secret to staying young, keeping a kid’s curiosity and wonder about the world, so I’m going with it! 🙂
I think you’re probably right. It’s certainly one of the things that gives me great joy, and keeps me connected with the rest of the human race:)
Yay! I used to live in Kansas, so I went to KC all the time…there certainly are a lot of fountains!
Dear Crazy, thanks for stopping by! I hope to get more of the fountain photos on the site soon. I hope you’ll stop back by to check them out!
I love it! Keep the updates coming! It’s better than HGTV!
Love the Idea! While I did grow up in KC, I have since moved away. I will be following along for a reminder of home.
Thanks!
How fun that you have ties to KC! I hope to be able to get more of the Fountain and Sculpture shots edited and posted soon. I hope you will come back and check them out!
That surely will be a huge achievement when you have taken a shot of all of them! The city I come from, Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France is also well-known for its more than 250 fountains scattered everywhere! you’d have a blast there too! 😉 or maybe I will, next time I get there : a new goal on photography to share with you at some point! I’ll write it down! 😉
Cheers! and happy wandering KC to shoot those pieces of art.
Jul’
Jul, merci pour votre message. J’adore Aix-en-Provence et j’espere d’avoir l’occasion de prendre beaucoup de photographe de sa belle fountaines!
On pourra donc en partager quelques unes! Merci pour l’inspiration! 😀
Avec plaisir! 🙂
