Peterhof fountains in Lower Park, Saint-Petersburg, Russia

The most famous ensemble of fountains in the Lower park at Peterhof are simply breathtaking. The Grand Cascade fountains, which runs from the northern facade of the Grand Palace to the Marine Canal, comprises 64 different fountains, and over 200 bronze statues.
The large Samson Fountain was placed in this pool. It depicts the moment when Samson tears open the jaws of a lion, representing Russia's victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War.From the lion's mouth shoots a 20-metre-high vertical jet of water, the highest in all of Peterhof.
Perhaps the greatest technological achievement of Peterhof is that all of the fountains operate without the use of pumps. Water is supplied from natural springs and collects in reservoirs in the Upper Gardens.
