Fonte dos Escudeiros, séc. XVI, Viana do Alentejo, 2012 #silentsunday #Renaissance #Alentejo #chafariz #fountains #fountainsquare #photography

A imagem mostra um fontanário público construído  no século XVI, em estilo renascentista, de planta rectangular, centralizada, encaixada em paramento de outro edifício, composta pela articulação horizontal de arca de água, em alvenaria coberta de laje marmórea, taça em cantaria de mármore e pórtico de arcaria, antecedido de pequeno adro murado. A fachada principal, que é definida pela articulação de todos estes elementos, define-se num primeiro registo pelo murete do adro, apainelado com relevos de motivos armoriais, zoo-antropomórficos, naturalistas e geométricos e, no segundo registo, pela arcaria do pórtico, com arcos de volta plena assentes em capitéis vegetalistas, colunelos cilíndricos e capitéis de planta hexagonal. (In monumentos,gov.pt). O edifício está caiado de branco, com frisos sobre os arcos e rente ao solo, pintados cor-de-grão. Na esquina, uma placa toponímica típica da região de Évora, redonda, em azulejos brancos com moldura escura onde se lê 'Praça da República'. Em primeiro plano, o solo pavimentado por grandes seixos arredondados,  polidos pelo uso, tal como o mármore branco do chafariz.

@mfuhrmann There is a map with #Drinking_water points, sometimes called "drinking fountains": mapcomplete.org/drinking_water (the drinking water layer is also included in plenty of other maps, such as mapcomplete.org/cyclofix and mapcomplete.org/nature)

However, there is no map (yet) for decorative #fountains as described here: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ta

If you are feeling up to a challenge, you can give mapcomplete.org/studio a try

Dilophosaurus doesn’t like this crummy water park.

A green Dilophosaurus with brown spots stands in a dry flume clogged with dead leaves and twigs. A channel is above them with no running water. The fountain features are a white, faux porcelain.

A fountain in Şahkulu Sultan Dergâhı, a religious house of the Bektaşi dervish order in Istanbul-Göztepe (Turkey). Various symbols on the fountain refer to the Bektaşi: the twelve-pointed stone (teslim taşı) for the twelve imams of the Alevis, Bektaşi and Shiites and the double-edged sword Zülfikar, a symbol for Ali, the son-in-law of Muhammad.

Video game created by Saskatoon roommates draws rave reviews, thousands of buys

A pair of Saskatoon roommates who created a video game in their living room have begun to reap the rewards of its success.

Fountains, a role-playing video game, "took inspiration from things like Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and Hyper Light Drifter," said John Pywell, 24, who started working on the RPG in 2019 and remains the game's sole programmer and graphic designer.
