In the Portland business district is quite a treat to the senses. Ira's Fountain is one of the biggest water works in Portland, OR. This is a man made structure or should I say work of art in the most abstract way. The amount of water flowing through the different waterfalls is really quite loud. A tremendous amount of water is pumped and recirculated through the system. It is very attractive in a basic sort of way. It is certainly worth the extra time to drop by and have a quick look at it. The best part of all, is that it is free. No admission fee. Parking is a little tight though, because of the business district.
