you find this fountain on every second postcard of Geneva. It exists already since 1891 in the lake. Two pumping sets of more than 16 tons of total weight with a power of ca. 1000 kw are necessary to shoot the water up to 140m. The velocity at the blast pipe is around 200 km/h.

wasn´t this the year of the first modern olympic games?
or isn´t it a date? Maybe it is a long measure...? ....ok, the fountain above "only" reaches 140 m altitude...so it must be something different....
( I found this near "sexy rexy and Tchin-Tchin)

    Sexy Rexy is actually a rose bush (developed by a a ex-pat Brit who lives in NZ, Sam McCready) It looks like the bush has died and been removed, it doesn't die down for winter.
