Yep. Definitely not a fountain. As for what it is, some sort of artistic installation. And water feature doesn't seem a bad description among others for want of a better term. But I was just trying to feed in that calling these things fountains is not natural in everyday British English. Feel free to ignore. The one term which is natural, drinking_fountain, I gather at least one person wants to deprecate. But I have not followed this thread closely. It just seemed to me that there is a strong drift away from British usage, and I just wanted people to be aware of that. No more. People from more arid climates have a much richer set of objects to map and so I guess a richer vocabulary and are in a much better position to invent extended tagging. I really don't feel able to comment much further.... ael _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
