Kharkiv turns on its fountains

Like many European cities, Kharkiv has a lot of fountains -- and several nice ones in Shevchenko Park, near my apartment. As the weather turned warm, the city turned on the fountains. They're refreshing during my run -- which I end with a loop through the park.

The fountain above is in the middle of the park; it's a popular spot for people to have their picture taken.

Here's a photo of a fountain at the back of the park. This one has water cascading down toward the main road below. (Sadly, graffiti is as common here as in the U.S.)



And finally, here's a fountain in front of the Opera House.
