Water sculpture

Along the lakeside towards Zurichhorn, the parkland is dotted with various interesting objects, more of which anon. We already saw the Tinguely sculpture "Heureka". Close by is this sculpture/fountain/whatever

The ball weighs 1000kg (metric tonne) but is supported effortlessly by water pressure. You can spin it around with two fingers. A nice bit of fun
