It's a fountain (actually a jet) off a jetty in the lake and has come to be the 'symbol' of Geneve.
Far larger than any water main break, it is visible from most passing jets flying over the city.
Officially titled "Jet D'eau" (literally jet of water).

Basilic is once again demonstrating that if he doesn't work for the Swiss Tourism Bureau he probanly should. Nice photos of some excellent roads you get to enjoy. :beerchug:

First ride out on the new XC race weapon. Loved it, nice and muddy. Just need to lower the front end and I'll be all set....
