At first look, this seems to be just another fountain, elaborate but in keeping with what Henry Flagler wanted for his hotel. If you ever visit St. Augustine and take the time to even just look in on Flagler College, take a close look at this fountain. See the frogs around the rim? Each one of them has a different pose; no two frogs are alike. And there twelve frogs. Look at the column in the middle - I'll bet it casts a shadow around the fountain as the sun moves across the sky. In fact, of course it does. Moving shadow... twelve unique frogs... Yes, the fountain isn't only a fountain, it's also a sun dial! How neat is that?
