Night view of the Mulholland Memorial Fountain in Los Angeles, its illuminated jets rising in a tall column of pink and white light above concentric circular basins. Automobiles are parked and passing on the surrounding roadway, with trees and street lamps in the background. The fountain honors William Mulholland, the engineer who designed the Los Angeles Aqueduct and led the city's water department; it was dedicated in 1940 at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Los Feliz Boulevard.
