Elche is a city inland from Alicante on the South East coast of mainland Spain. It’s also the place our favourite Elche Spanish restaurant in Leytonstone is named after. This video features a sculpture in a section of expansive palm groves, actually within the Priests Gardens (Huerta del Cura)
The sculpture is made of vertical shiny metal rods arranged in a spiral rising from a rotating plinth which gives the impression from a distance of a waterfall or fountain. The video accentuates this by being recorded next to an actual fountain, providing the soundtrack.

A really clever alternative to a water feature. It really adds dramatic effect!
That looks wonderful! A great idea for a public place where it is sometimes tricky to look after a water feature of that size.
What a great idea, I think this looks visually stunning and a great alternative to a traditional water feature
