Looks Like Rain

Looks Like Rain, originally uploaded by William 74.

This piece of art stands in downtown Geneva, Illinois, near the end of a row of shops and restaurants. Water comes out the top of the umbrella, cascading down, making a fairly good impression of someone being stuck in the rain and adding a nice little bit of action to what would otherwise be a static display. Which makes me wonder if this is a statue or a fountain?

I can say that it's not unusual to see people huddling under the umbrella to have their photos taken.
